Dreamforce 2012!

Since 2008 the Jackson River team has been attending Dreamforce.  Great clients, friends, partners, amazing bands, and of course a tremendous opportunity for learning and growing within this large platform ecosystem - its a great week that we look forward to every year.  This year Jackson River will be sending key members of our management and Salesforce consulting practice, but instead of just attending we will also be sponsoring in the nonprofit foundation zone.

"Do you do fundraising consulting?"  No. 

"Oh, so you do web design?" Er...no.  

Jackson River is excited to release Springboard V3 to the nonprofit and Drupal Community. You can learn more about the features and download it from the distribution site at gospringboard.com.
