Community Hero Joni Martin

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
― Margaret Mead

We are celebrating the one year anniversary of the Power of Us HUB  by recognizing 30 community members who have been instrumental in supporting the growing community of nonprofit and higher ed Salesforce users.

Today’s community hero is Joni Martin, Concierge at Now IT Matters.  Joni started a group in the Power of Us HUB called Girlforce – a “superSHEro society committed to empowering women and girls in technology through professional and personal development, education, community involvement, and a network of combined resources.” Joni is the self-titled “Salesforce Doula” at Girlforce where she helps connect members and organize events ranging from social happy hours to certification study groups. Joni is regularly a top contributor in the HUB and her leadership in bringing people together for comraderie, support, and personal skill building represents the best of what a community has to offer. Like the mail carrier, Joni, you always deliver. THANK YOU!
