Describe Yourself

Name	Lisa Goettel
Interests	Collective Intelligence (84), Social Justice (48), social networks (107), cyber-organizing (56), Internet (60), nonprofit (42), Blogging (32), Social Movement Building (56), Civic Engagement (29), Network-centric models (28)
Theme	Online Activism
Brings	Six years experience in Web project management and two years in nonprofit online communications. My strengths (or hot buttons) are in promoting technology within a greater context and never for its own sake. Seeking out collaboration rather than self-promotion under a single, common, progressive vision. I keep an eye toward the many people who are mistrustful of technology and am a proponent of not only usability but of ensuring that technical solutions enhance rather than diminish our humanity
Seeks	To meet people who want to find ways to facilitate communication through technology within social systems built on a culture of empowerment and altruistic energy. Want to discover ways in which the technology sector can be a microcosm and teacher within the greater progressive movement - specifically regarding self-organizing, more network-centric models of advocacy, and facilitating campaign and entire social movement objectives in creative and unprecedented ways.
