Remembering Online Pioneer George Irish

George Irish was an unmistakable force in the global nonprofit sector, helping lead generations of fundraisers and technology teams as they broke new ground in online fundraising and campaigning. George, a consultant, father and outdoorsman, has died at the age of 61.
