Dennis R. Mortensen from Yahoo! elected onto the Web Analytics Association Board of Directors
Hi there, I am extremely happy to announce that I have been elected onto the Board of Directors of Web Analytics Association. I just received the email and I am really looking forward to work with the rest of the team.
A fun trivia from my anti-campaign. On the day of the nominations (of the 6 candidates) I went to see: Batman the Dark Knight – and posted the following on http://twitter.com/DennisMortensen
“…in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn’t fully understand.”
Which, if your not all movie buffs, could have been misunderstood?!
But bring out those “I Believe in Harvey Dent” stickers – and I will see you at Web Analytics Wednesday in San Francisco Tuesday night. Or at SES San Jose throughout the day Tuesday. And of course for my fellow board members, see you in Wakefield soon.
Cheers … and again. THANK YOU, I truly appreciate the trust.
Dennis :-)
