Hi. I'm Bryan and I'll be stepping up to juggle the project lead responsibilities for the Ask Your Lawmaker project... which I also submitted.

As a project, I believe that the Net2  conference will provide a unique opportunity to launch the next phase of development and growth for AYL. Now that the core site is built, we are eager to get input and guidance on which steps we should take next: not only on how to improve the national AYL service that we are currently providing, but also on how to extend the service to state and other regional locations (as indicated in our project proposal. We are looking for guidance on functionality, useability, design, and how to make the site sustainable aside from the founding non-profit.

As a project lead, I'd like to use this challenge as a way to teach myself -- hopefully with the community's help -- how to oversee and manage a project in a holistic way that balances usability, design, user experience and sustainability. <!--break-->
