Free Association
This week kicks off the annual meeting for ASAE & The Center for Association Leadership in San Diego. ASAE is doing some really killer stuff in the collaboration / Web 2.0 space, including:
You can even follow along by tracking posts tagged with #ASAE on Twitter.
If you're interested in understanding what folks on the front lines of bringing Web 2.0 into associations are doing, here are three people to start with, today:
Maddie Grant from Diary of a Reluctant Blogger
Jeff De Cagna from Principled Innovation 
Jamie Notter from Get Me Jamie Notter!
(Other great association bloggers who should be on this list? Please list them in the comments!)
Additionally, there are a few resources out there that can get you started, such as this Executive Briefing on Social Networking for Businesses and Associations, which has (wow!) been viewed almost 9,000 times.
You can get the presentation here, or download it as a free e-Book here.
Looking forward to seeing some great things out of San Diego this week.
