Acronym

I am very excited to tell you about the group of bloggers who are going to be sharing their thoughts while at ASAE & The Center's Annual Meeting & Expo in Toronto, August 15-18.

There's a lot of familiar voices in this group, beginning with current Acronym guest bloggers Brian Birch, assistant executive director, Snow & Ice Management Association; Aaron Wolowiec, director of member services, Healthcare Association of Michigan; and Art Hsieh, CEO, San Francisco Paramedic Association.

Joining us in Toronto will also be Scott Steen, CEO of the American Ceramic Society. Scott is actually my cofounder of Acronym, serving with me as one of the first bloggers in 2006. He also helped out as part of a team from his organization last year in San Diego. And, we welcome Scott as he'll continue to post on Acronym as a guest blogger for several months after the meeting.

Terrance Barkan is chief strategist & business architect of Globalstrat. Before forming this company he led Association Global Services. He's well known in the sector for his international experience and savvy, and has recently made quite a splash in the association social media sector. Terrance also will be staying on board to blog after the annual meeting.

Becky Bunte, the CFO of the Texas Association of School Business Officials, was the first person to volunteer to guest blog at annual this year. I love getting the CFO perspective; she also is a relatively new association executive, coming from the public sector where she led the finances of a school district.

Of course Lisa will be here, too, as will I. Thank you to all of our guest bloggers who will be bringing readers their insights and experiences at the annual meeting. We look forward to giving you the scoop!

(Oh - and I may have a name or two to add to this list, so stay tuned!)
