A New Chapter

Friday, June 4 was my last day as Interim CEO of ASCnet (Applied Systems Client Network). This video blog is just a quick thanks to everyone I had the pleasure of working with over the past 11 months – especially the dedicated and talented staff at ASCnet. As I start the next chapter, I am looking forward being able to spend more time participating in the industry dialogue regarding the relevance and value  social media offers agents, carriers, and associations. I will stay involved with the ACT (Agents Council for Technology) Social Web Work Group. If are not familiar with ACT, I would encourage you to visit the site. There are many great resources (articles, recorded webinars, etc.) for any organization wanting to make the most of their social web experience.  I am also excited to be able to work more closely with Aartrijk on several exciting projects including Brand Camp 2010 and WAHVE. If you really want to understand the impact the social web is having on your brand and how to tap into the great opportunity that it offers – Brand Camp is the place to be.

WAHVE is unique in that it is a model that is redefining retirement for many insurance professionals and offering a great staffing resource for agencies and brokers.

I am very much looking forward to being able to devote more time to this blog. Clearly the social web is evolving and transforming and I am fascinated by the changes taking place in our industry. What trends are you seeing? How are you using new tools to grow your business – or are  you?
