“I was on a national research / story-telling tour called Millennials Changing America… My housing fell through in Cleveland and I was stranded. I asked "Who do we know in Cleveland, Ohio" via Twitter and within 8 minutes I had a place to stay... It was awesome. We stayed at some supporter's mansiony house.” – Alex

“I started the Chief Learning Officers Network in late November 2008. I had no real knowledge of Web 2.0 capacity. I had been a member of LinkedIn for a few months, joining because friends bugged me to be a part of it. After a while as a member, I began to join some groups basically to see what would happen. I didn't see a group for CLOs so I started the network…because nothing was in existence in LinkedIn and thought our community needed something – a place, a forum, something to communicate around ideas.”

“The group has become known as a place for leaders in learning to share ideas / thoughts / connect … We know that CLO's who would have never met have connected on issues of commonality; some folks have begun working together / collaborating… On a personal level, I've been invited to a CLO's only retreat and have been asked to be a presenter - without the network the folks in charge of the retreat would have never found me.”
