It has certainly been an eventful summer. During the flood crisis I joined Twitter. People had suggested that I join, but I didn't think I would find it of value. I thought the same when I joined LinkedIn and once again I was wrong. Last year I ended up being in the top 1% of the most viewed profiles on LinkedIn. So I decided to be open to another aspect of social media. Getting updates on Twitter in real time is definitely of value. I was pleased to find that many members of our community are on Twitter. I would like to thank Evan Bianco (@EvanBianco) and Matteo Niccoli (@My_Carta) for all their help and suggestions on who to follow. I would also like to invite people to follow me. (@carmenswalwell) I would also like to note the CSEG is on LinkedIn and Twitter (@csegonline).
