Join the Chicago chapter of AFF on March 25th for a fun and informative roundtable event. The question: How can technology help–or hurt–personal liberty?

She is experience and successful at building online communities, website design, the Mediawiki platform, training volunteer writers, providing content and editing articles.

Before joining Sam, Nic worked in retail management and served as a board member for the Secular Student Alliance. He graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago in May, 2006, with a B.A. in Philosophy, and a minor in Religious Studies. In his free time, Nic enjoys exercise, karaoke, dance parties, and books of a more abstract stripe.

She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Information Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology.

Moderator Richard Lorenc is the Director of Outreach for the Illinois Policy Institute and a freelance communications consultant for free market causes. Richard additionally serves as the Director of Communications for Lorenc+Yoo Design, an Atlanta-based exhibit and museum design firm.
