Advisory board

We have countless informal advisers, from customers to clients, investors, and family and friends. We value the support we receive and are always learning from our partners who help us improve as a social enterprise and better achieve our social mission.Today I am pleased to announce the next step in Idealistics's growth. We have begun assembling a formal Advisory Board. I am honored to introduce our first two Advisory Board members, Dr. Rodney Brooks and Dick Guthrie.

Rodney Brooks is currently Panasonic Professor of Robotics in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is also founder and Chief Technical Officer of iRobot Corp. Dr. Brooks, like all of us here at Idealistics, works to combine business, technology, and academics with the aim of creating positive change in the world. Dick Guthrie has spent his entire career in non-profit and government human services. Over the course of his career, Dick has worked at the Boys and Girls Club and spent several years as Director of Human Services for the City of Claremont until his retirement in 2006. Dick brings considerable management experience and human services insight to the Idealistics Advisory Board. I am excited to have Dick and Rodney joining Idealistics as advisers. I look forward to learning from their experiences and working with them to solve community crises and enhance social services through our technologies.
