Jeff Decagna is the leading creator of social media content in the association world. He can articulate the goals that social media interaction can achieve, the strategies to get there, the tools to use, and how to use them. Any session that he leads will be a winner.

As volunteers pick and choose how they will spend their limited time, we need to find new and effective ways make use of it. This topic sounds very innovative and I can't wait to hear how Jeff is using technology to make his volunteers more effective.

I heard Jeff speak at ASAE in Toronto a few weeks ago. His audience was totally engaged and rated it one of the tops for the entire Conference. His use of technology during his session also allowed engagement from non-attendees, a big hit as you can imagine. Can't wait to learn from him again.

Jeff pushes the envelope and pushes organizations to adapt or die. This pisses off some people -- which is a good thing. Some people need a shake up to wake up.

I have heard Jeff speak at a Maryland Association of CPA's (MACPA) program and follow his blog, he is a visionary and I highly recommend his panel, plus new ideas may come from it that are not even listed in the proposed agenda for the panel, and Jeff's the kind of person that can encourage and fuse ideas so that the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.
