I am an alumnus of the 2007 NOI summer training (we ran Simpsons characters for President), and it was one of the most memorable weeks of my life. Organizing as a discipline has come a very long way in a very short time, mostly due to the onslaught of new technologies available. But — like Superhero stories — some organizing ideas are timeless. NOI does an excellent job of training in terms of both the classic ideas and the newest tools.
