Happy Anniversary! #GovChat Going Weekly in 2012!

We are rapidly approaching the 1st Anniversary of #GovChat with our first #GovChat being held on February 2nd, 2011!

First off have to start with great thanks to Thom Kearney @ThomKearney for his monthly hosting support in making this first year such a success! Thanks Thom!

Thinking now of 2012 and how we can make #GovChat even better in this second year it has become clear that Twitter chat momentum is directly related to the frequency at which the chat is held. Based on our experience running and participating in other Twitter chats it is clear that monthly is not frequent enough to build and sustain the momentum possible for #GovChat.

So with that we have made a determination to move #GovChat to a weekly format commencing February 8th, 2012! This is a very exciting prospect but also know that in order to pull it off we will require some additional support of the PSleader community participants to make it happen!

With this in mind we have already begun reaching out to some active individuals and have gotten positive responses to our need for additional #GovChat hosts but there is still room for more. As well assistance is required in sourcing additional SPECIAL guests, preparing chat scripts as well as cleaning up and publishing the #GovChat transcripts. Please email or tweet us if you’re interested on any of these levels. Also if any of you have suggestions or ideas for cool topics and/or SPECIAL guests for an upcoming #GovChat please comment below and we’ll get back to you.

These are exciting times in the PSleader Community and we know that weekly #GovChats have the power to rapidly drive participation and engagement on these important issues to the next level! Cheers!
