Weeding through my email this morning I happened to notice a familiar name in one of the dozens of listserv digests that I routinely delete each morning. The NTEN digest featured a post by Allyson Kapin on “Tips to Create a Culture of Collaboration and Innovation.” Allyson Kapin is super smart and “culture of collaboration and innovation” is […]

Thankful
Lest I let the opportunity for the cliched “What am I thankful for” blog post roll by, I am muddling through my post-ASHA convention and now sick stupor to try to write a coherent post about what I’m thankful for. Since lists are easier than prose, I’ll make it easier on all of us and […]
New York Times and Other Excitement

I mean, seriously–how often do associations get huge news coverage that talks […]

The beauty of having your own blog is that you can blog about whatever you want, whether or not it’s on topic. So, while technically this blog is about social media, who’s to say I can’t blog about Kim Kardashian’s divorce? Nobody! So here I go. If you read this blog you know I’m obsessed […]
Please Help Me Raise Funds for The Children’s Inn at NIH Through Give to the Max Day
I blog because I love writing. Period. Through blogging I’ve met cool people and been offered cool opportunities, but have never had a chance to use my blog to give something back. Until now, that is. Enter Give to the Max Day. Give to the Max Day is a one-day fundraising event on November 9, […]
