Just wanted to let you know about four new bloggers I have had the distinct pleasure of getting to know recently.

Pat Jones is the Executive Director of the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association. He blogs at Tolling Points.

Deirdre Reid is an association pro, and was until recently Director of Member Services at the California Building Industry Association; before that, she was at the National Association of Home Builders. She’s currently making a move to Raleigh, NC and her personal blog is at Reid All About It.

Toni Rae is a performing artist and Association Director of Education – she blogs at Toni Rae’s Version of Life.

Art Hsieh is CEO of the San Francisco Paramedic Association. He writes at EMTeacher.

All four, despite being relatively new at blogging as far as I know, have that special voice I love, where they write in an open, inviting way that shares part of themselves, that lets their personalities shine through, regardless of whether their posts are specifically personal or more professional in tone.

I hope you’ll welcome them and I’m so glad they are part of our ever-expanding association blogosphere.
