Registration Team: USSF
I worked with Ana Willem on the registration team for the first ever United States Social Forum in Atlanta, Georgia in 2007. Ana served as the technical liaison to the registration team, developing and coordinating the a registration system that ultimately served over 10,000 people. She also implemented a range of complicated requirements for the entire team and provided on the ground support and troubleshooting during the registration process itself.
Ana was an excellent person to work with, providing expertise and skill to a large group of people--including staff and volunteers--with a wide range of technological background and knowledge. She helped to create a database that was accessible, intuitive, and that functioned wonderfully in a highly stressful environment. Thinking back on the challenges of that work and context, I am so grateful for Ana's experience, knowledge, patience and incredible hard work and commitment. I highly recommend Ana to any individual or organization looking for someone with commitment, creativity and expertise!
