I love communicating with people and that's what I do. I build relationships with people and help people build relationships with their members. I use a lot of neat tools to do these things, but even before the social web I was looking at how writing style and presentation made a difference when connecting with people. I started in journalism, went to marketing, and then moved to DC and my association career developed at that time. Now I have jumped to what a lot of people call, "The Dark Side" (a.k.a. consulting), but so far it looks like I just get to work on the things I'm passionate about and go to more meetings I want to attend, so I'm very happy!

"Hmmm...most memorable social media experiences at an event? I guess getting to know the other association SM peeps face-to-face at ASAE's meetings counts, but one specific event does stick out in my mind. The president for my previous organization told me to invite all the chapter leaders to his suite for a party later that evening. We're talking about over 100 people from all over the world be..."
