I am a Gen-X blogger, “shiny new toy” addict and 1%er. I’ve made a professional home for myself within the association/non-profit world after a dry run down several different career paths in the UK and here in Washington, DC. As the number two executive of a small professional membership association, I spent several years as a big fish in a really small puddle. I used my past experience with social technologies to “just get crackin’,” proving it is possible to beta-test ideas, improve processes through technology, and save money at the same time! I first started blogging as a platform to develop my thinking about all kinds of association industry issues and record my journey towards getting my Certified Association Executive (CAE) certification. I soon found that, for me, all paths lead to the social media space. I started exploring and was hooked. I’m especially interested in how social media, Web 2.0 and 3.0 and the new culture of flexibility, openness and innovation is forcing associations to change how they think about governance, strategy, marketing, communications, membership, IT, and other traditional management silos.
I am also Chief Social Media Strategist for SocialFish, LLC.
