Today the Sunlight Foundation announced that I, along with three others, have joined their board of directors. Snip:
the Sunlight Foundation announced that Sue Gardner, Allison Fine, Mark Horvit and Daniel X. O’Neil would join its board of directors.
“As we begin a new chapter here at the Sunlight Foundation, we are thrilled to add these four remarkable individuals to our board,” said Sunlight Foundation President Chris Gates. “Their valuable experience and expertise across the fields of journalism, civic tech and social engagement will help guide Sunlight on its mission to advocate for open government in the U.S. and across the globe and to create and use technology to hold government accountable.”
The Sunlight Foundation is a central entity in the work open data and open government. Joining their board and working alongside the other directors is something of a dream come true. I believe that the work we do at Smart Chicago is highly simpatico to the mission of the Sunlight Foundation, and deeper ties with national organizations like Sunlight are essential to our future.
I look forward to it!
