11/18/2009 Breaking News Update - @mpaynknoper has been nominated as one of the five finalists for "Twitter User of the Year" award. Make sure you continue to vote DAILY through December 13th!
Description
We all come across people who claim to have a mission or passion, but it only lasts so long. It’s true in agriculture -- we have a lot of people who are cultivating some relationships but how many show their passion and grow our communities every day? Finding someone with true purpose and the fire to make a difference is rare and should be celebrated. Michele Payn-Knoper is one such person. Sure, she’s a great speaker, trainer and friend. She’s more though.
Using her skills in advocacy and her talent for social media, Michele has empowered the agriculture community (and several of us as individuals) to give voice to their issues and share their own stories with passion and purpose. The Twitter community of farmers and agriculture professionals is vibrant and active thanks to Michele’s encouragement and orchestration of #agchat and #foodchat. And while she will credit the entire community and maybe single out others on this thread, there seems to be agreement that her leadership was the critical kickstart!
Without a doubt, Michele is deserving of recognition for her passion and skills. She is however, far too honest to ask for your vote or assume she deserves it. Which is why the people who respect and value her are asking on her behalf.
Please help us make Michele Payn-Knoper Mashable’s Twitter User of the Year. This award is based on the viral nature of social media and requires daily voting through December 13th to win the award.
We would like her to get lots of tweets but some of the time we will use initials to keep from overflooding her account & its utility... the hashtag tracking will help her see. Feel free to put @mpaynknoper in a tweet now and then to remind her how valuable she's been to our community's development.
