I just received an e-mail to notify me that I was not elected to the Information Architecture Institute’s board of directors. While I am disappointed that I won’t be able to represent the IAI in an official capacity and help them to reach a new generation of IA practitioners, I’ll still keep fighting the good [Keep Reading…]

The Information Architecture Institute has four open spots on its Board of Directors and the 2008 election process is underway.
