Web 2.0 has come to the Commonwealth Seminar.
Over the past five years, we have carefully nurtured and built a network of more than 2,500 diverse leaders in metropolitan Boston. We have done a good job of promoting our events, providing information, and using our newsletter and marketing efforts to build the seminar.
It's past time, however, to give our members the tools to connect to one another more easily. To that end, and thanks to the initiative of seminar graduate Jennifer Chin, we have created a group within Linkedin, a professional networking site that has more than 30 million users, that will allow our leaders to get to know one another, to connect to each other, and to share ideas directly.
I invite you to join our Linkedin group. Within one week of launch, we already have 250 members and the beginnings of a vital online community. I'm now on Linkedin personally, and its been fascinating to watch my network of connections grow organically. Look me up.
Join us on Linkedin.
Personal Note: Please excuse the long delay between these blogs. Poor planning to start this new idea at the same time as buying and selling homes, taking on a major promotion at work at MAPC, and in the middle of the year-end holidays. We are going to use the blog vigorously in 2009.
