Elijah van der Giessen

Eli strives to be a connector - the interstitial tissue that holds the muscle of a community together. He's been a volunteer manager, an event organizer and a digital campaigner. Basically he'll take any gig that allows him to enable a group of passionate people to create things they love.

Currently he's the NetSquared Community Manager supporting a global volunteer network of 105 monthly meetups for the nonprofit technology sector. Together they hold over 800 events per year.
