Community Manager Appreciation Day (CMAD) is Monday (23rd) next week and there are lots of cool things happening as always - including a great meet up in San Francisco in the evening. If you're around in the city, come join us, Jeremiah Owyang from Altimeter and the team from Yammer for some drinks and food at Tres (here's the Facebook event)

Erin and I are also starting a new interview series to talk with community managers and practitioners around the world. If you're a CM or know a great CM who you'd like to hear from, then let us know and we'll interview them on the Lithosphere. Leave a comment below or tweet your nominations to @lithiumtech using the hashtag #CMAD-Interview

See you on Monday!!

I'd like to nominate:

Wendy_S is a top conributor here and manages our French and German communities.

[#3]

I think that Matt Emery at the American Diabetes Association would be a great candidate for this series, perhaps on the topic of transitioning a large community to a new platform!

[#4]

@Dani / @Bob great suggestions, thank you!

[#5]

I'd like to nominate Lucas Kozlowski who manages the Bath & Body Works community.

[#6]

@Brandie, thanks for the suggestion, we will chase it up!

[#7]

Definitely need to interview our amazing Walgreens Community Manager @samogborn because she's the person behind moments like this http://www.pammarketingnut.com/2011/12/walgreens-case-study-humanizing-social-business/

[#8]

I'd like to nominate Gina Mulic from Rogers Communications - she did a lot of great things to turn the Rogers community around.

Also, I'd like to nominate Catherine Buzzitta from Webroot. She worked hard during the launch process to get her community started up smoothly and is now ready to be a community manager!

Thanks Ricky!
