Hellloooo there! Been about a million minutes since I last posted here–or anywhere, other than my journal–but I guess that’s what happens when you become your own boss. It’s been a wild year to say the least, but kind of an awesome one. I’ll save the long story for another time, but short story: I’m […]

Does Association Community Management Need Its Own Association?
What could be more meta than a conference for community managers to talk about community management? How about an association conference for association community managers to talk about managing association communities?

Association Community Management Palooza
It occurs to me every now and then that I have terrible timing for some things in life, mostly because patience is not one of my strong points.

It is! Two years ago Jeremiah Owyang suggested that the fourth Monday of January be a day to “take the time to pause, recognize, […]
ASAE’s Community Manager Position
Have you seen the movie White Chicks? If so, you know that part where they say “OOOH, you want to talk about mothers?!” Weirdly, that scene was what I thought of when I saw ASAE’s listing for a community manager. Why? Because if you read this blog you know if I have one pet issue, […]
