Tasks

Information/Strategy

  • Most organizations have a company email address structured like this: @organization.org. If you look on the Staff section of a company's website and notice someone you want to contact, try either: firstname@organization.org or firstname.lastname@organization.com. I tested this with Engineers Without Borders today using an old email account, and it didn't bounce back with an error, so I know it went through. Is this ethical? No. Is this excellent? You decide.


tom

-Extensive talks with Carl maucione, score mentor. Looks like its best not to contact board heads for recommendations as Aaron posted. Poach their email contacts?

-5 more score requests. Unfortunately score does not allow hiring of mentors or them sitting on boards, but maybe call the chapters?

-Called nanoholding llc. universities! department heads at UT austen? Nanoengineers.

-called urban green energy.

-A few resumes have come in through the blog posts. No EDs but possible team leaders.

-I have found a good to-call list from the ashoka fellows list.

-Plan for tomorrow: call ashoka fellows, five more score mentors, mine the ted fellows networks, try to find more executive search engines, call Score chapters and heads, and call strategic executive search
