Hello, Tim et al –
I am a fellow TC blogger. My blog, The Altruisitic Marketer (http://altruisticmarketer.wordpress.com), focuses on how Twin Cities businesses – even small ones – can become leaders in philanthropy and volunteerism. I have a particularly large following of women entrepreneurs. I’m interested in being a guest blogger, and depending on your vision, can submit either blogs written specifically for this site or reposts from my blog. You may want to check out a couple of recent posts to get a flavor for my writing:

By way of reference, I’m a friend of Chad Weinstein and a member of his Hill Center Leadership Working Group in Eden Prairie.
Please let me know if you have an interest in my perspectives as a guest blogger.
Warmly
