PTP is excited to announce the addition of Alice Aguilar to PTP's
staff team.  Alice joins PTP as our Technology Knowledge Director,
where she'll be responsible for coordinating technical support for
participants in our VOTER Project
[http://cts.vresp.com/c/?ProgressiveTechnolog/74cfb5389f/TEST/edc1c29eca]
.  As part of her work, she will also be leading the Power on Network
- PTP's technology and organizing community of practice.

For over 10 years, Alice has been committed to providing
capacity-building support to advocacy and community organizing groups
that focused on issues such as environmental justice, Indigenous
subsistence and sovereignty rights, at-risk youths, immigrant rights,
and low-income communities access to health care.  

Her earlier days as a database specialist and trainer started with her
work with the Rockefeller Technology Project and the introduction of
ebaseTM version 1.0. Her work and interests then quickly transitioned
to focusing on providing communication technology assistance and
training with environmental justice groups in the Southwest through
the Environmental Support Center.

Alice is currently living in Anchorage, AK, and will be moving back to
Brooklyn, NY later this summer.  Check out the PTP blog
