Elijah van der Giessen’s Summary

Eli fell in love with volunteers in 2000, and has been working to build community ever since.

He'll take any title: Production Manager, Tour Director, Volunteer Wrangler, Wagon Master, Outreach Coordinator... even "Marketer"...just as long as he gets to hang out with enthusiastic people who are working together on a project because of a consuming passion.

Lately Eli has been assisting the David Suzuki Foundation with their online campaigns and community development. The internet is fun!
