The Austin Statesman Awards – What it Means to Me

Last year I was lucky enough to be named one of the Top 25 Social Media people in the state of Texas. However this was more than just award for me. It was something that really helped propel my career to the next level.

After that award I not only went on to win the American Marketing Associatons Social Media Marketer of the year I also went on to get two new jobs! One as the Co-Founder and Director of my own Non Profit: Lights.Camera.Help. and one as the Senior Digital Strategist at Ridgewood PR. But more than that….winning that award let me do the following:

1) Show that Social Media for Social Good Works

2) Let me meet an AMAZING group of fellow winners (many of whom I am good friends with)

3) Show that Non Profit Communications people really can change the world.

4) Show that Non Profit people GET Social Media.

So will you take a second to check out this years nomination form? I would hope that you can take a second to help change my path again by nominating me.

Thanks!
