2008-11-21T17:31:00.003-05:00

This new free membership benefit is available to all members and offers easy-to-use personal branding and networking tools.

Cambridge Who’s Who Connect (Cambridge Connect) is a social networking platform designed to strengthen your ties to other Cambridge Who’s Who members and aid you in creating and maintaining your personal brand. By joining Cambridge Connect and taking advantage of its enhanced networking tools, building your personal brand is easy to do. See how each of the features can help you to develop and share your brand with others.

My Page: My Page houses your Cambridge Connect profile. Here you can update your personal and professional information, describe your area(s) of expertise and list your company’s major products and services. To spark conversation, we also strongly encourage you to use this space to highlight things that you are seeking and can offer others in the network. Your profile page is the first place where someone will go to find information about you, so make sure that your profile is clear and well written. You can also build your personal brand here by including a professional photo and changing the theme of your page to incorporate your company colors and logo.

Events: The events section allows you to post events (professional, civic, social, etc.) hosted by you or other organizations. If you regularly attend industry events, add them to Cambridge Connect, so that other members will have a chance to experience them. The events you attend or hold say a lot about who you are and what you have to offer.

Forums: Asking and responding to questions is a great way to learn from and share your expertise with other members. What you write gives insight into your personality, background and areas of expertise. It also encourages members to network with you because they see that you are open to communicating with others and sharing information. Your activity in this section can also increase members’ willingness to speak with you on mutual topics of interest and position you as an expert in your field.

Groups: Cambridge Connect Groups are a great way to stay in touch with members with whom you have similar interests such as the Vacation Club created by member, Damon Walker. They are also an ideal way to invite members to learn more about what you do such as the Parker-CPRW Group created by member, Lisa Parker. Ms. Parker is a certified professional resume writer and created this group to discuss resume writing and help members with resume-writing questions.

Photos: Not only can you add a personal photo to your profile, but you can also create albums to upload additional images to Cambridge Connect. Many members have uploaded their company logos, additional professional photos of themselves at industry events and pictures of their products.

Videos: Reinforce your personal brand by uploading videos that speak about your products and services. From simple introductions to full-fledged commercials, videos are a great way to showcase your personal brand, as they allow others to learn more about you and get a feel for your personality. They also offer a unique way for you to introduce yourself to the Cambridge Who’s Who community and announce exciting news. A few members have already started posting videos; join them by uploading your video today!

Blogs: One of the easiest ways to maintain your personal brand is to create a blog. Cambridge Connect provides you with your own blog space, making it easy to promote yourself and your services. Use your blog to announce upcoming events in detail, highlight products, services and expertise that you can offer, write short how-to articles based on your knowledge and experiences and share your or your company’s recent accomplishments and endeavors. Your blog is customizable; you have complete control over the content that your audience will read [and remember] about you, so make the most of it!

Utilize as many of these tools as possible to solidify your personal brand. The more visible you are, the more likely you will be remembered by others. Not a member of Cambridge Who’s Who Connect? Join today! It is free for all members and included with your membership.

Cambridge Who's Who Multi-Media Program: Your Personal Brand Management Tool

2008-08-26T16:49:00.002-04:00

Once you have created your personal brand, maintaining it can be time consuming, but Cambridge Who’s Who is here to help.

Today, developing and marketing your personal brand is an important part of becoming successful. Your personal brand defines who you are, what you have to offer and helps to remind others of the qualities that make you unique. With a strong personal brand, you can increase your career and business opportunities and eliminate your competition. Read more about the importance of personal branding on the Cambridge Who’s Who Resource Center.

Once you have defined your personal brand, how do you promote it? How do you make it a staple in the market and more importantly, how do you maintain your personal brand so that it is remembered? One way to accomplish this is by participating in the Cambridge Who’s Who Multi-Media Promotions Program. The Multi-Media Program increases your visibility on major search engines through the distribution of one or more press releases about your endeavors. Your press release can also be used to announce something noteworthy such as a special event, achievement or promotion.

To assist you, the Cambridge Who’s Who editorial department writes a news release announcing your inclusion in the Cambridge Who’s Who Registry as well as any career achievements, personal accomplishments or business ventures that you want to highlight. The public relations department then sends your press release out to all major search engines including Google, Yahoo and MSN, allowing others to find you and your company online. By increasing your presence on the Internet, you will strengthen your personal brand. Every time you use a multi-media press release to announce an important event or other news that attracts public and media interest, you reinforce your personal brand.

Once your press release has been distributed online, you will be in a position where you can be found on one of the first results pages when someone types your name into a search engine. This calls immediate attention to your achievements and puts you on the map with global recognition and exposure, making you a more valuable networking contact and job candidate. Include a link to your website in the electronic version of your press release, and you will also drive traffic back to your website where others can find out more information about you and become more familiar with your brand.

For added exposure, you can also use your press release in the following ways:

Link to it from your website or blog;

Print and submit it to additional media outlets, including local newspapers, associations you belong to, magazines and newsletters that you subscribe to, your company’s public relations department, etc.; and

Showcase it in your office or share copies with your family, friends, colleagues and clients.

So how do you get started in utilizing this immense benefit from Cambridge Who’s Who? It is easy! Simply call (516) 535-1515 x1343 or send an email to multimedia@cambridgewhoswho.com. Indicate that you are interested in the Multi-Media Promotions Program and leave your name, member number and contact information.

A premier member services representative will contact you to discuss the Multi-Media Promotions Program in detail and gather all of the relevant information for your press release if you demonstrate further interest. Your information is then forwarded to the editorial department where your press release is drafted. Next, you will receive a copy of your press release for your review as well as an authorization form. You will be able to make any changes to your press release as needed and once you are satisfied with your edits, all you need to do is sign the authorization form and send it back to the Cambridge Who’s Who public relations department. Once we receive your signed authorization form and final press release, it will be uploaded to the web and distributed widely online!

Contributing Author Program: Cambridge Who's Who Experts Contribute

2008-06-26T10:40:00.001-04:00

Share your knowledge and gain additional exposure.

You want to be noticed as an expert but you are having a huge problem because no one knows who you are. How do you get yourself recognized? In the beginning of the month we discussed how to tailor your online Cambridge Who’s Who profile to promote your strengths and expertise in your field. See My Online Profile: Can You See that I’m an Expert. Now we take a look at the Cambridge Who’s Who Resource Center as means for you to position yourself as an expert.

The Cambridge Who's Who Resource Center is a place for members and non-members to gather information and seek advice on popular topics such as business networking, building your personal brand, starting your own company, marketing your products and services and making yourself into a valuable contact. Articles are published in the Resource Center for your benefit, so you can learn from them, but what if others can learn from you?

Think about what advice you have to offer, what experiences you can draw from and what topics you can write about to help others. If you cannot come up with a compelling idea for an article, simply check the Resource Center for the topic of the month. Once you have an idea in mind, join the Cambridge Who’s Who Contributing Author Program. This program provides you and other Cambridge Who’s Who members with a public forum to share your expertise and the opportunity to be published online.

As a Cambridge Who’s Who contributing author you will also receive a biography highlighting your areas of expertise, credentials and professional experience as well as announcements on the site about your recent accomplishments and endeavors. Imagine, not only will you be an author, but you will be considered a valuable resource in your industry. This is a great way for you to increase your visibility online and show others that you are an expert.

My Online Profile: Can You See that I’m an Expert?

2008-06-12T15:16:00.004-04:00

Your profile makes the first impression for you, be sure it’s saying the right thing.

Cambridge Who's Who offers a number of tools and resources that you can use to position yourself as an expert in your field. The most important of these tools is your online member profile at www.cambridgewhoswho.com. Your profile contains the first bits of information that other Cambridge Who's Who members will read about you. To make a great impression, first make sure that you have completed your profile and filled in any missing information. You want to show members that you care about yourself and your profession, so do not leave your profile blank, with errors or with outdated information. Second, enhance your profile’s overall appearance by uploading a photo, company logo or business card. See My Online Profile: Picture Perfect.

Next, be sure to include any information about yourself that showcases your experience in and passion for your profession. Have you been published in any journals, magazines or other industry-related publications? Do you hold any advanced degrees or professional certifications? Have you participated in public speaking events to educate others on what you do? If so, list them! Think of them as credibility points – the more points you have, the more weight your credibility holds and the more likely that others will view you as an expert.

Here are some profile fields that you should pay special attention to:

Area(s) of Expertise: Be as specific as possible, so that members clearly know what your strong points are, what skills you possess and why they should seek out your expertise or advice on a particular subject. Include keywords that will make it easy for other members to find you using the Advanced Search.

Education Degrees: Include your full educational background. Indicate your graduation year, major, minor, any honors you received and the name of the university or college where you completed your degree(s).

Certifications: Listing your certifications is just as important as listing your degrees. Professional certifications usually specify your area and level of expertise and are tailored to the industry that you work in.

Affiliations: List all of your affiliations, associations and societies. The more involved you are in your industry, the better. This also shows your passion and commitment for what you do. Be sure to specify if you hold leadership positions in any of the organizations you have listed.

Awards/Honors: Listing awards and honors always increases your credibility. Include any type of recognition that you have received in your field.

This is the first step in using your Cambridge Who's Who membership to attain expert status. In the future we will discuss other valuable tools that Cambridge Who's Who offers to help you gain strategic positioning within your industry and profession.

CamBiz™: A Company Directory

2008-05-07T16:24:00.001-04:00

Increase your visibility, increase your networking possibilities.

As a member of Cambridge Who’s Who you are provided with an online profile to showcase your accomplishments and endeavors. It’s the page where you explain who you are, what you do and what has motivated you to become successful in your career. Your profile also includes your photo, contact information and any other relevant biographical information you decide to share. So, if you have all of that, then what is CamBiz™ and why do you need it?

The Cambridge Business (CamBiz™) directory is a special section of www.cambridgewhoswho.com where Cambridge Who’s Who members can highlight their place of business. Not only is CamBiz™ a business directory, but it also facilitates networking; members use CamBiz™ as a resource when they are looking for potential service providers, vendors and business partners. By profiling your business in CamBiz™, you open yourself up to new business relationships and clients. We also encourage you to use the directory as a quick way to search for and find members who you may be interested in networking with. Being active within the Cambridge Who’s Who online networking community by utilizing tools such as CamBiz™ will generate more contacts for you and your company.

Unlike your personal profile (which is all about you), CamBiz™ focuses solely on your company. Here you can include a mission statement, an expanded description of your business and its core products and services and an image of the logo. You can also list your company’s full contact information, including a mailing address, phone number, fax number, email address and website URL. Another great feature of CamBiz™ is that your listing is directly linked to your profile, so that members who view your business listing can follow a link back to your personal page to find out more information about you. CamBiz™ gives you additional exposure while providing you with an outlet to promote your company. This is particularly valuable for our entrepreneurs, consultants and freelancers.

CamBiz™ has one other extra benefit: free advertising. If you offer a Cambridge member discount in your CamBiz™ profile, you will receive an advertisement listed in the “Exclusive Offers” section of the left-hand sidebar. Exclusive offers rotate throughout the members-only pages of the website and provide direct links to CamBiz™ listings, thus drawing more attention to your business and personal profiles. Furthermore, members who offer a discount to their fellow Cambridge members are considered for the Featured Business section of Who’s News, the Cambridge Who’s Who newsletter.

CamBiz™ profile are also listed on the My Cambridge page of the website. This brings you additional exposure based on the industries you indicate in your listing. Members have the option of customizing their homepage by selecting the industries they are interested in so that only relevant information is displayed on their My Cambridge page. Make sure you select the appropriate industries when completing your CamBiz™ application so that you appear on My Cambridge.

Ready to submit a CamBiz™ listing?
Follow these steps and download the CamBiz™ Instructions and Guidelines.

Log into www.cambridgewhoswho.com using your assigned username and password.

On the “My Cambridge” page, select the CamBiz™ link that appears in the horizontal navigation bar along the top of your screen.

Select the “Post Your Business” button.

Fill out the application form.

Once your application has been approved (allow 24 to 48 hours for review) it will be listed in CamBiz™.

We look forward to seeing your business in CamBiz™. General questions about the directory may be directed to techsupport@cambridgewhoswho.com. Questions regarding a particular business profile should be sent to networking@cambridgewhoswho.com. If you have any suggestions for improvements, please let us know! We’d love to hear your feedback and comments.

Cambridge Who's Who Profile Image

2008-03-06T14:19:00.018-05:00

My Online Profile: Picture Perfect

Adding an image is an important part of completing your profile.

One of the most frequently asked questions that Cambridge Who's Who members have for the technical support department is, "What kind of image can I upload to my profile and how do I do this?" Today we take a look at adding images to your Cambridge Who's Who profile.

Cambridge Who's Who allows you to upload your photo, company logo or business card to your online profile. Utilizing the space in your profile allotted for an image is essential to making your biography of interest to other Cambridge Who's Who members. Your image will be the first thing that catches another member's attention and draws them in to reading the rest of your profile and learning more about you and what you have to offer.

At the moment Cambridge Who's Who only publishes one photo alongside your online profile at a time, but we will increase this number in the future. We recommend that you upload either a photo of yourself, your company logo or a scanned image of your personal business card. Whichever you choose, make sure that the picture is of high-quality and relates to your business profile.

Keep in mind that Cambridge Who's Who is a networking tool for executives, professionals and entrepreneurs, and so your profile image should convey that you are indeed an executive, professional or entrepreneur! The most common profile picture is a headshot taken from the chest up. A simple image like this complements your profile instead of detracting from it.

If you do not have a picture you would like to upload the next best thing would be your company logo. Cambridge Who's Who members who view your profile will associate your information with the logo and remember the connection should they come across it again. The last type of image you can upload is your business card. The problem with uploading your business card is that it will be scaled to fit in the space, and this may distort the image making it difficult to read the card. Unless you have a very high quality image of your business card, save this option as a last resort and try to upload an image of yourself or your company logo first.

Now that you have decided which image you are going to use, it is time to upload it to your profile. To do this, follow these instructions:

Log in to your Cambridge Who's Who profile using your uniquely assigned username and password.
Go to "My Profile" from the sidebar.
Select "Edit Your Profile" then scroll down to the tabbed sections and select the "Images" tab.
Select the "Browse" button to search your computer for the correct image file.
Remember to select "Save Changes," so you do not lose your image.

Here are some guidelines to keep in mind when choosing the correct image to accompany your Cambridge Who's Who profile.

All emailed and uploaded images must be in either JPEG or TIFF format. If it is a JPEG file, set quality to high (compression to low). Other file types will not upload correctly so be sure to check that you have saved your image as the correct file type.
Personal Photos - If you are using a photo make sure that it is at least 300 dpi or if you are scanning a photo make sure that it is at least a 5" x 7" photo for the best quality.
Business Cards - If you are using a business card make sure that you quality/resolution is at least 900 dpi.

For further instructions on how to upload an image to your online profile, please visit the Technical Support section of our Member FAQs. If you require additional assistance, please complete our online inquiry form and select "Website/Technical Support" as the subject of your email. We look forward to seeing your image on www.cambridgewhoswho.com!

Despite all this he continues to overcome every setback with his unfailing optimism and the caring support of his family.

His determination and creative spirit shine through his painstakingly crafted oil paintings and drawings.

George A. Furness, Jr. President of the Conservation Treaty Support Fund, has been named Cambridge Who's Who Executive of the Year in International Wildlife Living Resources Conservation.

New York, NY (PRWeb) February 6, 2007 -- George A. Furness, Jr. President of the Conservation Treaty Support Fund, has been named Cambridge Who's Who Executive of the Year in International Wildlife Living Resources Conservation. While inclusion in Cambridge Who's Who is an honor, only one member in each discipline is named the Cambridge Who's Who Executive of the Year. The Cambridge Who's Who selection committee hand picks these special Who's Who honorees based on accomplishments, academic achievement, leadership, and service.

a large percentage of the world's medicines are derived directly or indirectly from wild plants and animals. Each species lost can mean a dramatic cure unrealized. Each cure found can mean a new crop or a new industry for a developing country.

The lists of George A. Furness, Jr. accomplishments include former US Foreign Service Officer, Deputy Director, Office of Ecology and Conservation and International Wildlife and Conservation Officer. He was also in charge of the US International Visitor Program and Office of International Conferences. Mr. Furness served in Vietnam, France, Ireland and Japan. He also served as Secretary of the Board of the Audubon Naturalist Society.

CTSF is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to helping international wild living resources conservation agreements. Over 150 nations, representing most of the peoples of the world, have adhered to these treaties, pledging their best efforts to ensure the maintenance of our natural heritage, for its own sake and for the benefit of people.

The unique mission of the Conservation Treaty Support Fund (CTSF) is to support major inter-governmental treaties which conserve wild natural resources for their own sake and the benefit of people. The Fund believes these undertakings have the best potential for global conservation because they stem from the will of the nations of the world and are premised on the goal of sustaining living natural resources.

The vital importance of conserving the environment and rapidly disappearing wild natural resources is now universally recognized as essential for sustaining the livelihood and quality of life of mankind. For example," a large percentage of the world's medicines are derived directly or indirectly from wild plants and animals. Each species lost can mean a dramatic cure unrealized. Each cure found can mean a new crop or a new industry for a developing country."

The future of the human populations of developing countries depends largely on their capacity to husband natural resources, either for internal consumption or external trade. We must ensure that native peoples have positive motivation to preserve endangered species and their habitats. This can only be secured through international cooperation.

June D. Maule Named Cambridge Who's Who Executive of the Year in Aviation

2007-02-05T12:16:00.000-05:00

June D. Maule president of Maule Air Inc., has been named Cambridge Who's Who Executive of the Year in Aviation.

New York, NY (PRWeb) Feburary 5, 2007 -- June D. Maule president of Maule Air Inc., has been named Cambridge Who's Who Executive of the Year in Aviation. While inclusion in Cambridge Who's Who is an honor, only one member in each discipline is named the Cambridge Who's Who Executive of the Year. The Cambridge Who's Who selection committee hand picks these special Who's Who honorees based on accomplishments, academic achievement, leadership, and service.

1941 the B.D. Maule Company was formed in Napoleon, Michigan to build a light aircraft tailwheel which B.D. (June Maule’s late husband) had designed. 1946, B.D. and June Maule purchased a farm near Napoleon, Michigan. With the help of their two oldest children, they converted it to an airport. In the process, they had the dubious honor of leveling a dog race track which had been operated by Al Capone. The airport flourished, being used for flight training during the initial post-war aviation boom.

In 1995 Maule was the third largest producer of single engine aircraft in the U.S. In 1996, the Maule factory produced 64 aircraft, and employs 76 people. Some employees have been with the company over 29 years. This experience is realized in the quality of each handcrafted Maule airplane. Maule has produced over 1800 aircraft since its inception.

Family plays a large part in the operation of the company, which employs wife June, four children, two spouses of children, and two grandchildren. Through decades of sometimes difficult years, B.D. had a constant supporter in his wife June. She has worked steadily at his side through all of the ups and downs the company has experienced. She has filled the position of Purchasing Agent since the inception of the company, and has been the company owner since the death of Mr. Maule.

At the time of his passing in 1995, Belford D. Maule held the worldwide distinction of being the only founder, owner (with wife, June), and manager of an existing aircraft manufacturing company. He was a noted aviation pioneer. Over a span of 53 years, B.D. remained in total control of the operation of the company as well as the technical development of the product, up until his death. Mr. Maule continued to fly his airplanes quite frequently even into his 80’s. He was an excellent example of a successful individualist, entrepreneur, and self-made man and received the deserved respect of many people in the aviation world.

Expanded Biography:

Melody Baker is a Successful, Deaf Internet, Networking Marketer. Most of us do not realize that what comes easy for us, is 10 times harder for a disabled person. Melody is a deaf, paraplegic and her only means of communication with the outside world is her computer.

Melody's website, is dedicated to not only helping her become financially free, but to help other disabled people get the same opportunity.

Personal Dedication:This author found Melody's website while doing research on Cambridge Who's Who on the web. Melody commented on her blog:

".....got my mail, and into my apartment, I found a very nice surprise for me there. I received a letter today, a letter of invitation, to become listed in the Cambridge Who's Who Among Executives and Professionals "Honors Edition". At first I was confused, and I emailed some people about it. I received nothing but Congratulations from them. So I used my SBD Search Engine Portal, and looked them up. Boy oh boy was I surprised. I am being honored by being listed with Doctors, Lawyers, Business Leaders, etc. the list goes on and on. "

When doing the research on Melody, I found out that not only is she deaf. She is a paraplegic, she is a veteran having served in the army. To read exerts from her website such as:

"I am deaf now, as a result of a explosion at work, and have fought for the Rights of Very-Low Income, Disabled people, to the point that I brought suit against the city of San Buena Ventura, Ca., and even ran for City Council. But the whole time I was doing this, I was fighting the clock. You see, I was infected with Hep.C., back on November 6, 1986, and was not diagnosed until November 6, 1993. And I ended up on the streets, in a wheelchair, fighting to stay alive, and get housing, so I could get TREATMENT for the Hep.C. But it was a futile fight, because unknown to me, when you hit the 19 year mark, and if you have other Medical problems, the Combination Drug Therapy is not helpful. It does not work."

Melody is truly an inspiration for all and we are proud to announce her inclusion as an Honored Member of Cambridge Who's Who.
