Fed 100 – Video of Honoree Steve Ressler, Founder of GovLoop
Last Wednesday evening, I was honored to have been invited by Steve Ressler, founder of GovLoop and co-founder of Young Government Leaders, to accompany him to the Fed 100 Awards. It was a nice evening that gave me the chance to meet several notable folks who are transforming government through their great work, such as:
> Scott Burns (@smburns) of GovDelivery
> Frank DiGiammarino at the National Academy for Public Administration
> Bev Godwin (@bevusa), former Director of USA.gov who has been detailed to the White House
> Sheila Campbell, also at USA.gov and co-chair of the Federal Web Manager’s Council
Another honoree that I met later in the week at Gov 2.0 Camp was Eric Hackathorn (@hackshaven), who built the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Meteora Island in Second Life.
The video below captures a fun moment before we stepped into the car of Maxine Teller (@mixtmedia) to get transported to the event:
By the way, if you want to learn about more cool people working in and around government, you should definitely check out IAmPublicService.org.
Thank you for visiting the Generation Shift blog! I look forward to interacting with you as we work together to promote the power of four generations, social media and flexible work environments to transform the public and social sectors.

Sounds like you have video commentator in your future, Andy!
The man gets honored and no tux, fine; but no polished shoes? Tsk!

Hey Ari – After we help a bunch of agencies with this social media thing, I plan to take Anderson Cooper’s job.
Tracy – Awesome to meet you, too! We’ll be in touch…
