I'm Andrew Cohen, and I'm pleased to be joining Influence as a regular contributor.

I'm a Project Director at Forum One, and I'll be sharing ideas and techniques related to the technology challenges that nonprofits grapple with everyday. Since 1996, I've been working with Internet technology and helping organizations with both big vision stuff and deep in the trenches too.

I come to Forum One from Beaconfire Consulting, where I was a founding member five years ago. At Beaconfire, and in prior pursuits over the past decade, I've led a wide variety of nonprofit technology projects mostly involving site redesigns including Content Management System selections and implementations. But I've also done site web site audits, accessibility evaluations, solution selections, audience analysis projects, opportunity assessments, and online marketing.

Well, that's more than enough about me. Members of my burgeoning fan club can just read my bio.

For those of you in and around Washington, DC, I'm managing Forum One's 2007 series of Web Executive Seminars at the National Press Club. Our first seminar was last month when about 75 people showed up for an engaging session on Mission-Driven User Experience. (Check out the event's page for photos, audio, and presentations from this session.)

Our next seminar is on Blogging and Policy Organizations, and it is scheduled for April 24. We're lining up a really interesting panel of presenters. I'll be sharing much more about it soon.

Ok, I've had enough writing about myself. Onward and upward!
