human glue

Anyone that's been a part of an organization, particularly one in the start up phase knows that for anything that actually gets done there are key people that make that thing possible. Those people are the human glue that hold the organization together and keep it moving forward.

Sometimes they are in leadership roles, though just as often they're down in the trenches producing deliverables or connecting these producers at a very granular level.

In March 2006 the Magnet celebrated its (more or less) first birthday. The idea of the Magnet was conceived earlier than March 2005, but that's about the time it reached critical mass.

In those early days there were a lot of people that put in a lot of time and thought to coalesce the idea and concepts of the Magnet into a cohesive organization. Many of those individuals are now on our Advisory Board. One of them in particular is now on our Board of Directors.

Prior to this post she initially managed, and after Noah came on board co-directed with him the Magnet through the crucial first 10 or so months when the Magnet was literally being cobbled together through the will and passion of its founders. Through this process, Maggi Blue was the glue that held these ideas and thus the organization together.

So here's to Maggi, next time you see her buy her a non-alcoholic beverage, unless it's after September 2006 and her little one has been born. In that case, buy her a strong one =)
