Hi,

Regarding the Indie Movement . . . .

A couple of weeks ago, we had a discussion with the economic development staff person of Congressman Jim Hime about the indie workforce and its potential value to economic growth. 

Out of the blue on Friday, his office called to ask if he could could come to the space on Monday, May 12th at 3pm.  (That’s tomorrow – or today – depending upon when you read this)

IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA, YOU ARE WELCOME TO COME.

For more background on the conversation I had with his economic development staff person, read this post that argues that old labels just don’t get to the value of this group: http://www.comradity.com/comradity/2014/05/labels-schmabels.html 

My goal is to ask him about how to fund a survey of independent workforce through coworking facilities, hacker spaces, groups like this, etc. to better understand this valuable human resource.  

If you have any ideas on who would be interested in participating in designing, fielding the survey and how to reach them, let me know!
