I’m thrilled to have Net Tuesday friends Darren Barefoot (coming from France!) and Theo Lamb kicking off the 2012/13 season.

Net Tuesday June 12 2012
Spring has spring and it’s time for a change.
I left the David Suzuki Foundation (after five years!) on May 10, 2012.
I have taken on a couple of short-term contracts while I decide what’s next. You can now find me consulting for:
- NetSquared, as a community curator supporting the Localproject.
- Rainforest Solutions Project, doing social media for the Take it Taller campaign
- David Suzuki Foundation, helping orient my replacement.
So much for my dreams of summer underemployment!
I joined the NetSquared Global Leadership Council at the 2012 Nonprofit Technology Conference. Good times!
But I was ambushed by Vanessa Rhinesmith, who interviewed me and fellow meetup leader April Kyle.
