Over the past year, I was honored to have served on the Executive Board of Young Government Leaders (YGL). In that time, YGL gained it’s official 501(c)(3) non-profit status. They just took another big step as a stable, thriving organization by joining the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) of the National Capital Area. If you live in the Washington metropolitan region, that means you can contribute to YGL as a Federal employee by entering the YGL code #38096 on your agency’s CFC pledge card. Outside of Washington, contributors you can use the same code through the CFC website. Keep Reading ->
A few weeks ago, we featured the Armed With Science podcast as the GovLoop Project of the Week. Since I am located in Durham, NC, and the team was based in our nation’s capitol, I conducted the interview using Talkshoe, a web-based tool like BlogTalkRadio (the preferred podcast tool of Armed With Science and Gov 2.0 Radio). Talkshoe enables the producer to host and record a podcast similar to the way that you’d conduct a conference call by phone. It’s simple, free and makes your content immediately available to an audience. Even the digital immigrant who travels a mighty distance to meet you on social media will be comfortable with the format…and it mitigates the barrier of real, physical distance that could hinder the recording of a live podcast.

I’m really excited by a new initiative that we just launched on GovLoop called the AwesomeGov Fund. To kick it off, we are donating $1 for every new member that joins GovLoop between now and December 15. GovLoop members can submit and vote on their charities of choice. Rather than say a lot myself (other than the fact that I think it’s awesome!), take a look at the blog post from my colleague, Steve Ressler below. And if you have friends or family members, neighbors or fellow churchgoers who are government employees, please tell them about our “do good” campaign! Thank you. Keep Reading ->
