- by Dennis R. Mortensen. Monday, August 18, 2008 email  print   share

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 :-)


WAA Special Election Result Announcement

Dear Members

I am pleased to announce that the WAA Membership has elected Dennis R. Mortensen, Director of Data Insights at Yahoo!, to the Board of Directors. Dennis will serve through May, 2010.

Dennis is a pioneer and expert in the Web Analytics industry - having worked in the field of internet analysis and statistics since 1996. He is a thought leader in web analytics and online marketing and we are delighted to have him on board. I know that he will be a tremendous asset to the Board as we work to lead and support the online marketing analytics profession in the years ahead.

I would like to thank each of the six extremely qualified nominees who ran for this seat. I continue to be impressed with the outstanding caliber of nominees - and their willingness to serve the organization. We are grateful for your commitment to WAA and its members.

I also would like to thank WAA members for taking time to consider each of the candidates and their platforms, and for casting your ballots. (Which was not an easy process!) Your active participation is what makes WAA a strong organization.

On behalf of the WAA Board, thank you. We look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,

Jim Sterne
Chairman of the Board
