#WMFboard; story telling

The #Wikipedia story is like a fairy tale; people love the story and they have Jimmy tell the story time and again. Jimmy tells a convincing story, his personal story, the stories of others and, he makes it a story that motivates.


Jimmy is not the only board member who I know spreads the word about us. Phoebe does a great job in the GLAM world, particularly in the libraries and archive world, a world that she can call her own.

Having the individual stories told of our pack of volunteers, the many wonderful things they do celebrates our community, it will motivate people to find their own thing. Telling these stories and bringing out what makes our community so wonderful is part of the puzzle that will bring us new people and grow the people that are already with us.
Thanks,
