A note from Chief FLiP Will Schneider

FLiPs -

Happy New Year!

2008 was huge for FLiP. We had more events than ever, posted more articles, and had way (WAY) more readers. I'm pretty sure that 2009 is going to blow all of that out of the water!

However, before we get into our plans for a bigger than ever 2009, I have one bit of sad news to share with you. Effective right away, after more than four years with Changing Our World, I have left for a new job - and therefore I leave FLiP behind as well.

From 2005, when I originally had the idea that became FLiP, until now I've loved getting the chance to meet and interact with all of you. I've loved the writing, the events, and the hundreds of drinks and coffee meetings we've had over the years.

FLiP is being left in the capable hands of Elisabeth, Lyndsay, and Divine - and I know the community is going to continue to grow by leaps and bounds.

Of course, I am still going be a FLiP community member - so you'll still see me at events, and I still hope to write for FLiP, so you'll still get to read my latest thoughts via the FLiP site. Stay tuned for a post about my new job - as the Director of the Slingshot Fund at the Andrea and Charles Bronfman Philanthropies.
