What my LinkedIn contacts are saying about me:
“I have collaborated with Dwight on some of his innovative projects at CIGI, and found him to be a clear thinker, a good organizer, and a great communicator, with an excellent command of the Web environment. Dwight successfully combines the skills and experience of traditional media with the rapidly shifting platforms of new media. In addition, he is one of the most collegial colleagues I have had the pleasure to work with.” November 20, 2009
