Wow. Tonight I saw over 300 people attend a fantastic session from MIMA on social media, the recession and the role of the community manager. Who needs to attend SXSW? We've got an amazing audience in Minnesota.
Many thanks to our great panel—Paula Berg, Rick Mahn, Gary Koelling, Connie Bensen—and our wonderful moderator, Albert Maruggi, for their illuminating opinions, insights and experiences.
Especially big kudos to Paula Berg for making the trip up from Texas and sharing her expertise with Southwest Airlines, both during the event and long afterwards!
And truly, here's to the Twin Cities community.
It was amazing to see so many different people getting together to share, question and articulate the growing need for community manager/architect/firestarters. It's a pleasure to be a part of such a large group of passionate, invested people. We're lucky to have such energy here in the Twin Cities.
Tim, I'd like to take thank you for putting together this event and giving Paula, Connie, Gary, Albert and I the opportunity to share, listen, learn and help add to the rich community we have here in MSP.
I truly look forward to working with MIMA in the future, and will be adding a membership to MIMA this spring. It was a great experience and I hope we provided useful information for folks to use.
Regards,
Rick Mahn

Thank you Tim for inviting me. It's great to join in the 'local' events. I grew up in Minnesota & I'm proud of how progressive we are. Thank you for providing leadership in MIMA. I'm with Rick in joining MIMA & helping support your efforts.
