And April isn't even close to 40

03:10 PM Jun 26, 2009

Our very own April Pedersen, co-founder of DemocracyInAction and of Wired For Change has been honored as one of the New Leaders Council's "40 Under 40" -- "a diverse group of young leaders ... who exemplify the spirit of progressive political entrepreneurship."

I've had the privilege of working with April since DemocracyInAction's salad days. It's well-deserved recognition for someone with a rare combination of energy, vision and brilliance.

(Congratulations as well to her fellow-honoree Paul Rieckhoff of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, a DIA member organization.)

Anyone in D.C. who wants to help April (and a few of her staff) celebrate, roll out to the awards celebration at Chi Cha Lounge tonight.

(Yes, that award registration page is another Salsa link. The New Leaders Council is not just the extoller of April and DemocracyInAction: it's also a client.)
