Too Awesome: Federal CTO Todd Park 'joins' GovLoop!

Steve Ressler | GovLoop | August 21, 2012

...last Friday I was honored to spend time with Todd Park and his staff, talking about the power of collaboration within government. It was music to my ears as he discussed how much power government had within its own agencies and employees.  He talked about the need to improve the sharing of best practices, ideas, and connecting the innovators.

I told him that's what I've spent the last few years of my life dedicated to achieving with GovLoop -- and that's what we do every day.  We focus on being a knowledge network for government - from our blogs/discussions to guides/online trainings to mentor programs - our goal is to help government innovators connect and learn how to do their jobs better.

Todd got super excited and said "Let's join GovLoop right now!" He got on his computer, joined GovLoop, and was cruising around on the site.  Honestly this was one of my overall highlights to be in the Old Einsenhower building with GovLoop.com on his computer screen going through the joining process. So I'm honored that Todd joined our community here - make sure to friend Todd on GovLoop (and the rest of OSTP team including Seth, Arianne) and let him know how you and GovLoop are making government more awesome!
