Steve Longenecker is Director of IT Consulting at Community IT and has been supporting Google Workspace at nonprofits for years.

Webinar: Securing Google Workspace for Nonprofits with Steve Longenecker, Director of IT Consulting
Google Workspace is one of the most widely used platforms in the nonprofit sector, and the free nonprofit tier gives organizations a powerful set of tools. But how secure is it — and what can you do to protect your organization without paying for a higher tier?
Join Community IT Director of IT Consulting Steve Longenecker in a webinar on Google Workspace security for nonprofits. Whether you are the person who manages your organization’s Google account or a staff member who wants to understand your risks, this session is designed to be accessible and practical.
Steve will focus on the security features available in the nonprofit tier of Google Workspace – including two-step verification, phishing-resistant authentication, and staff training basics – and give you concrete steps you can take right now. He will also spend some time on the more advanced security features available in Business Starter, Business Plus, and Enterprise tiers, and help you think through whether and when an upgrade makes sense for your organization.
The session will include time for a dedicated Q&A. You are invited to submit your specific questions regarding AI governance when you register.
As with all our webinars, this presentation is appropriate for an audience of varied IT experience.
