The Group Jazz Meta Networking Award in honor of Frank BurnsFrank Burns was a pioneer in the field of online networking whose vision continues to influence our work. He founded The Meta Network in 1983 - now one of the oldest online communities in the world. Sadly, Frank died much too early in December, 2003. But his spirit lives on in the many MANY networks and network members he inspired and supported during the more than twenty years he served as a leader in our industry.We have established the Meta Networking Award to honor Frank and to carry on the work he started in the way he taught us to do it. We hope that this award can play a small part in making the power of networking media available to people and organizations who might not otherwise be able to take advantage of it to leverage their goals. Each year we will make at least one award to an organization or project that is committed to doing something aligned with the original mission of The Meta Network - closing the gap between the human condition and human potential. The selected organization or project will receive a full year of consulting, services, and access to online media and other tools to enable them to design, launch and implement a network that can play a key role in supporting their purpose. Our goal will be to help the network be self-sustaining by the end of the award year.
To apply: Deadline for applications for this round: January 7, 2005 Obviously, many of the organizations that deserve and NEED this award, may not have easy access to the web so they might not see this announcement on their own. If YOU know of a deserving organization or project, please be a key network node and pass this information along to the people who need to get it. Thanks! The Group Jazz Team
