Wow… it’s been a long time since I posted here.  Hopefully I’ll change that. I have a few posts in the queue already about what has been going on with me, some social media thoughts, and others.

For starters, I was asked today about when we started the Kansas City chapter of Social Media Club. I searched through old emails and came up with this:

Hey Zena, Pete…

I’d love for us to get together for coffee or lunch sometime to talk about how we “rally the troops” here in town to add some cohesiveness to all the exciting social media stuff that is going on in town. The three of us happen to be the some of the spearheads of much of this, so taking the time to just chat or simply have the opportunity to get to know each other would be very cool.

Let me know if anything would work for you this week or next. I’m generally free for early morning stuff Monday and Wednesday. Lunch any day but Tuesday.

We met 10 days later with a few other folks on June 27th, and so started #SMCKC. It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 2 years now. We have well over 1000 members, making us one of the largest SMC chapters. Even our morning breakfasts are running out of room at the resturant we take over the first Friday of each month. We continue to grow and share ideas, best practices, and strategy regarding social media and how it’s changing both business and changing personal branding. It’s a good thing.
