Brands Go Social

My fellow NY Tech Meetup Members,

My name is Mike Street and I am writing to you because I am currently
running for the NY Tech Meetup Board.

I need your support as a fellow member in my quest to serve this group
and to help mold and shape this community into so that it not only
continues to meet its present potential but exceeds it for your
individual needs.

I joined NY Tech Meetup in 2007 with many of the needs that I am sure
you had when you joined: as a way to stay connect to the NY community,
as an opportunity for professional growth, as a way learn about the
exciting new technology that is shaping our world, and most of all to
be amongst some of the brightest people in the space.

To me, this community has served that purpose and more.

I think that this would be a great opportunity to not only represent
the NY Tech Meetup organization but it would also be a true testament
to the hard work that the many startups, students, and techies who
attend monthly put forth.

As a member of the NY Tech Meetup Board want to to be certain that
your issues are voiced and addressed on a regular basis and that
everyone and find something beneficial from the organization moving
forward.

If I were to be chosen to serve on the Board, I would:

1. Actively represent the members, business processionals, startups,
students, and New Yorkers who Instructional who work with technology
on a daily basis. These individuals have an enormous task ahead of
them as we continue to utilize technology as a means for creating
effective change and innovations we must continue to provide an open,
honest, and transparent space where professional development
opportunities and a wide range of resources for our active members are
available.

2. Foster a level of diversity for the organization. There are many
audiences that could benefit from tapping into the technology,
digital, and social media space. Thus we must help to foster a level
of diversity where communities outside of the current makeup feel
welcome to attend and to present.

3. Encourage and develop a means for the talent within the New York
Tech Meetup can lend its skills for social good. Connecting the many
members to organizations like the Taproot Foundation, the industry
leader in providing pro bono service grants to the city's most
neediest non profits, would be one of my main points of focus.

Plus focusing on some of the low hanging fruit like a REAL wireless
connection during the presentations, better networking, and the
ability for people to get tickets to NYTM without having to fumble
around every month for tickets.

Thank you so much for your time and PLEASE show your support and vote
for Mike Street as a NYTM Board Member.
