Please join me in welcoming all of these great people to our team!

Here are some of the new faces at Fireside21:

• Mark Soldavini – Mark brings a load of experience to our product development team at Fireside21. The success we’ve achieved with the deployment of our new Fireside CRM has a lot to do with Mark’s hard work.
• Michal Lyons – Michael joined our team on a part-time basis last fall. He has bolstered both our web support and software development teams. We are pleased to have recently welcomed Michael as a full-time colleague.
• Andrew Edelen – Andy is the newest member of the team, but you have likely already talked to him on the phone! As an Account Coordinator, you shouldn’t hesitate to call Andy with any questions about any of our services.

If you’re interested in working for a growing company leading the effort to help Congressional offices connect with their constituents in new ways, send us your resume.

It was a great time to get out and hear some respected speakers and learn about new technology and techniques. Even though a lot of the technology, like iPhone apps and Google App Engine, were things we probably won’t get an opportunity to use with our product, it’s fun to learn about them, and who knows, maybe someday Fireside21 will “have an app for that”.

Big thanks to Ken for sending us to the event, and to the support team for going developer free for a day.

Here’s a great shot of the event.

It’s a nice time to reflect upon our mission: to help legislators build close relationships with constituents using the latest technologies and strategies. This year, more than ever, we’ve been focused on that goal with the launch of our innovative Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) tools.

I’m happy to report that we’re on track for our best year ever. That includes going back to our time as a division of Adfero Group.

We’ve been growing our team here too as our first priority continues to be a commitment to providing exceptional customer support. We look forward to continuing to serve all of you and help as you engage with all of your constituents!
