Sorry, but it all reads like a standard press release (which it is) with some interesting tags. I'm fine with Social Media Club, Boston (which you and I helped found) just "ruling" and putting on great events locally with help from Liz, GregPC, Melanie, Sandy, Brian Cavoli, others and sponsors. The chapter works because it puts on great events in convenient locations and does it usually for free. So go for it Todd - make a difference - but don't forget about your roots and how SMC-Boston is THE flagship franchise in this until now (?) confusing, disjointed, but energetic and impressive organization. P.S. You know I love you, as well as the social media world you virtualize in, but your blog title is a bit MUCH. Simple goals, humility and some actual worker bees will be the only way for the organization to remain relevant and grow. OK, great, but what are you and the other 41 going to do?
