From touch-screen voting to online campaigning, technology is shaping the future of civic engagement. But what does this mean for e-democracy—especially for those individuals and communities without access to the latest technology? This panel will consider the promise of technology and how it may enable us to acquire and disseminate information. In debating various notions of e-democracy, the panel will look at the degree to which the digital divide may hinder any aspect of these expectations. Our experts also will address what local, state, and national policy initiatives are designed to address the anticipated problems.

Many non-profit websites struggle to address the different needs of advocates, volunteers and members and serve competing goals with limited resources. To get the most positive impact for your website and the greatest return on your investment, you must fully understand your site visitors – not just what they do on your website, but what they think about the online experience and how that experience will shape their attitudes and behaviors toward your organization.

The webinar is presented by Errol Hau, a Senior Director of Government Markets for ForeSee Results. ForeSee Results uses the methodology of the American Customer Satisfaction Index to help organizations measure and manage online constituent satisfaction, identify site improvements that will improve the satisfaction and loyalty of online visitors drive financial results.
