Dear Gaea,

There's little doubt that 2009 will be a remarkable year. At Convio, we're resolving to help make it as successful as possible for the nonprofit community.

In this issue, we asked some nonprofit industry leaders to share their recommended New Year's resolutions to help you focus in 2009, and we also share tips for empowering your constituents to help you reach more people and raise more money. We're thrilled to feature our first video story, contributed by our friends at YouTube™, who provide insights into using video successfully for your fundraising and marketing. And finally, as nonprofits are adopting our newest product, Common Ground™ at a rapid pace, this issue of Convio Connection highlights initial enhancements that make the ground-breaking product even better for your constituent relationship management needs.

Regards,

Gene Austin
Chief Executive Officer, Convio
