Next Tuesday I will reach a milestone at work. The day will mark my seven year anniversary working at NGP VAN (formerly NGP Software). It’s appropriate that this anniversary should fall on Election Day, as that is the day that is the culmination of the efforts of myself and everyone else at NGP, year after year. We live by the election cycle. Many months of effort build like a crecendo, with an outcome ultimately being decided by the voters on Election Day (and just sometimes by the Supreme Court).
My job at NGP was to build an Online Campaign team, providing website development and strategic services to Democratic candidates, parties, PACs, and other good guys and gals. Seven Election Days later, I look back with great pride at the work we’ve done and the people I’ve had the honor of working with.
But the time has come for a change, and I’m very excited to share that I’ve accepted a position as Director of Internet Strategy at Netcentric Campaigns where I’ll work providing progressive non-profits with strategic support in their online efforts and in building advocacy networks for social change. I’m very excited for such an opportunity that will take advantage of my skills and experience, while providing me the opportunity for professional growth, working in advocacy rather than for campaigns.
Wish me luck, and stay tuned…
