May I have your attention please...

Is this thing on? *feedback* Hello?

Hi. My name is Annie Lynsen, and I have a brief but important announcement to make.

After two wonderful years working for the coolest non-profit on the planet, I have a new job working for the coolest tech start-up on the planet.

Starting Feb. 8, yours truly will be the marketing manager for Small Act, a company that builds software and provides consulting services to make social media simpler and more effective for non-profits.

I'm really excited about this new venture. I'm jazzed for the opportunities to help Small Act plan which conferences to attend, to manage their own social media presences, to educate non-profit professionals in how to use social media, and to simply be a part of a small but rapidly growing company that's about to have a phenomenal year. And I'm really jazzed to work with some seriously brilliant people.

There's a lot I'm going to miss about KaBOOM!, don't get me wrong - I made some wonderful friends there who I'll miss seeing every day, and the cupboard full of cereal will definitely be hard to say goodbye to. And, of course, I'll miss the springy monkey that dangled above my desk. But I'm proud of this new direction for my career, and am excited to spread my wings in the for-profit world while helping other non-profits achieve their visions.
