Below is a copy of my latest addition of “Progress Notes,”an internal newsletter for our team members. This issues focuses on a high level overview of our organizational priorities for the year.

When I do get to write,one of the questions that I am always asking myself is whether or not I am discussing topics that are . . . →Read More:Mono-Blog-ue or Dia-Blog-ue? October 27th,2009
Out of curiosity,when you hear the words “Facebook,”“Twitter,”“YouTube,”or “Blog”what comes to mind? These applications which have become synonymous with the overarching term of “social media”have become so pervasive they can be found in nearly every aspect of life. I have heard of these applications talked about everywhere from the news,talk shows,and magazines,to everyday conversations between friends and even in church. No matter where you go,it is hard to find a situation in which these terms don’t emerge in some way,shape,or form. In fact,many speculate that social media . . . →Read More:Survey Question:How do you spell communication? | | |
