It is always interesting how we intersect with different people in different professions in different parts of the country or the world. This ability to connect and build relationships is greatly supported by the Internet and the tools people have created for communication and sharing.
Being a regular online contributor has helped so many of those fighting CPSIA build a community, find support, and find answers at a time where each new piece of information only leads to new questions.
This is something I think about quite often which is why a recent tweet by @geeche_girl (aka Leslie Poston) asking, “Do you have a story to tell?” had me screaming to myself, “yes!”
After reading their ask: How Has Having An Online Profile Affected You? I was even more convinced that our efforts to change the CPSIA is an extremely compelling story that would add value to their project.
So please leave a comment and let Leslie and her team know about your online profile and how it has helped you to fight the CPSIA. If nothing else, others might learn from our efforts so that, should they be faced with a similar challenge, they can learn from all we’ve done.

Hi! Having a Linked in profile and joining the CPSIA group has helped me significantly. I have been able to reach out and get answers and suggestions and have made some valuable contacts who are CPSIA experts.
Also, getting Google updates on CPSIA daily is one of the ways I keep abreast of changes.
Thanks!
