I’ve written before about my somewhat, um, nontraditional career path over the past decade. I wish I was the kind of person who just grew up knowing what they wanted to be, got a degree in that field, landed the perfect job right out of college, and that was that. What’s not to like about […]

5 Reasons Nonprofits Have an Advantage When it Comes to Social Media
If you read this blog, you already know I have a tendency to skew kind of negative on things. Lol. Ok, so yes, maybe I’m stating that a bit more mildly than is precisely accurate but whatever…my point is that, people often accuse me of being too negative. I personally just call it being a […]
Community Un-Managing Cheat Sheet, 2016 Edition
About three and a half years ago, I wrote a post called Community Un-Managing: Cheat Sheet for Community Managers and Tips for Companies, because, while most companies have processes and procedures for employees who leave, at that time, at least, few had procedures in place to extricate employees from company social media sites when […]
Do You Give Your Product Away for Free? No? Then Please Don’t Ask Clients to Work for Free
I’ve been thinking about this post for a few months now but haven’t hit “publish” because I didn’t want to come off as ranty or negative or whatever. But let’s be honest…when has that ever stopped me in the past? 🙂 So, sorry but…not really sorry because I’d like to think that there are win/win […]
Spring Fever and Changing it up on Mizz Information
Even I can hardly complain about this past winter because, aside from the 25″ of snow that one time, it wasn’t too bad, even by a winter-hater’s standards. Regardless, I’m glad it’s over and the world is filled with cherry blossoms and other signs of spring. This year has brought a lot of changes for […]
To Blog or Not to Blog in the Age of Medium
More and more, blogging feels like speaking into an unplugged mic. Which is why I and countless others who used to love it and do it religiously have either stopped altogether or seem to be winding down. Back in the day, blogging was about words. You wrote from the heart–or from wherever–clicked “publish” and that was […]
Does Association Community Management Need Its Own Association?

How about an association conference for association community managers to talk about managing association communities? Ok, sorry–I’m in post-conference stupor after my first-ever SFPE annual conference (Society of Fire Protection Engineers) and also still thinking about the Higher Logic Super […]
Cool Tool for Associations: Canva for Work
CANVA FOR WORK IS HERE! Ok, sorry, but I’ve been waiting for months for Canva for Work and I finally got access to it last week. Long story short: it’s pretty awesome, especially for small organizations with no in-house graphic designer and/or no budget to outsource graphic design. In this day and age where communications […]
About
About Maggie & Mizz Information Note: it’s now (as of the time I write this update) January 2023 and I’m pretty sure I wrote this intro at least a decade ago. I’m still the same person but suffice it to say a lot of my “passion” about social media has been eroded as social media […]
Five Cool Tools for Small Staff Associations
If millennials get a bad rap for job-hopping, apparently I was born ahead of my time given my track record over the past several years. In the past year and a half I’ve cycled through five jobs, finally landing at what I hope is my final destination for a long, long time (knock wood). I […]
