Gov 2.0 Hero: Lovisa Williams

  • June 15th, 2010

Sometimes it’s hard to believe Lovisa Williams is just one person. From appearances at Web 2.0 conferences and events throughout the world, to outreach in Second Life and an active presence on Twitter and in the DC scene, Lovisa is the centrifugal force of the Government 2.0 movement.

Lovisa is one of the most accomplished, yet most humble Gov 2.0 advocates. She was key in making February’s Gov 2.0 Camp LA a success, and when I was in DC last fall she set up a brunch where I got to meet the Alex “Digiphile” Howard and the EPA’s Jeffrey Levy in person for the first time. She’s ubiquitous, generous and totally awesome. Lovisa’s expertise and trainings have made the U.S. State Department a world leader in deploying social media for diplomacy.

Lovisa Williams is one of my Gov 2.0 Heroes.

Listen to Lovisa on Gov 2.0 Radio.
