Susan Mernit has been a friend, collaborator and advisor for many years. I’m pleased to announce she’s taking on a new role at iFOCOS - Entrepreneur-in-Residence. It’s a virtual residency. She’ll still be based in Palo Alto, where until recently she was a Senior Director of Product Development for Yahoo! Susan will contribute to a variety of projects at iFOCOS.

Last month at We Media Miami Susan led and moderated two sessions - one focused on social media and social experiences in business; the other focused on women in media and technology. If you don’t know Susan, you can get to know her through her widely-read blog and connect with her through the We Media Community [here's her profile]; and starting now through her contributions to guiding and growing iFOCOS. Welcome Susan!

And, for those of you reading this who know Susan but don’t know iFOCOS and We Media: Welcome to you too! We hope you’ll dive in, join the community, and find people, ideas and activities here that make a difference in your work and help you make a difference for others.
