I have to say how awesome it is to see Beth here at the Bin and read her background. In my mind, Beth and Livingston Communications are already linked. It was while reading “Now is Gone” that I suddenly had this personal revelation that social media was ideally primed to change the world of nonprofit marketing. It was around the idea of budgets. And having volunteered and worked with non-profits, I know how budget pressures are so much higher than in the for-profit sector. And I realized if social media was making headway into the corporate world over budget and ROI then it would sweep the nonprofit world. I went to Google to see if I could find any foundation that was writing grants for social media in the non-profit sector (with idea of putting together a proposal for a group that I work with) and found Beth’s blog. I haven’t looked back. Each and every post is a treasure of fascinating and detailed information. I’ve passed the blog on to I can’t tell you how many friends in non-profits. So thanks to the Bin and Beth for coming together here and in my mind.

I’m so honored to be profiled here on the blog! Thanks so much — and thanks also to Jonathan and Andre.

I’ve just launched another campaign to raise money for Leng Sopharath’s junior year in college. Sadly, she was ill and needed an operation — The Sharing Foundation and her friends helped her out – so this year I’m not only going to raise money for the tuition and living expenses – but also for the medical expenses.

So, trying to get 250 people to donate $10 –

Thanks again.

Beth’s truly an inspiration to us all and is always acting as a sort of “catalyst” to get people excited, informed, and up & running with social media. She’s my hero!
