According to Gregory Tassey, Senior Economist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and author of The Technology Imperative (2007), technologically stagnant sectors show slow productivity growth. For small businesses, a computer crash, or even a glitch, can bring operations to a screeching halt!

Many of the AHCMC’s constituents are small nonprofits and, as the economy continues to constrict, competition for audiences and donors has  grown. AHCMC believes that technology is an imperative for the economic survival of these small nonprofit arts and humanities organizations and that technology has become a major competitive asset worldwide. By increasing the role of technology and leveraging its benefits, AHCMC believes it can increase our constituents’ economic viability, become better stewards of contributed income and take advantage of economies of scale and scope that may be realized by leveraging the efficiencies of technology.
