But now he's announced that he plans to step down.
I'm disappointed to hear that, because I've come to think of him as a buddy and I appreciate his leadership. How can we ever replace him?
Well, maybe we can't. In this life, none of us are exactly interchangeable.
This leads me to think about what we should be calling for in N-TEN's next executive director.
I think that we need someone who:
1) Has a workable strategy for increasing funding for technology across the nonprofit sector.
2) Is thinking hard about how the internet can be a new social welfare delivery system.
3) Has plenty of experience and intuitive identification with small, grassroots organizations.
4) Has a vision for renewing the role of the Circuit Rider community within N-TEN.
5) Is a genius of a fundraiser on behalf of N-TEN.
6) Knows how to get beyond the buzz words and create real communication and collaboration across among stakeholders whose primary identification is with a specific professional role, organization, or sub-sector.
And then maybe he or she will be qualified to succeed Joe.2) Is thinking hard about how the internet can be a new social welfare delivery system.
