Biography

Freeman's prior experience includes a five-year stint at the University of Chicago.[1] She served at the AFL-CIO as senior political strategist. She has been a panelist for national technology and politics conferences, including Netroots Nation.[2]

In 2004, she spearheaded the formation of the New Organizing Institute by organizing a retreat of several dozen interested individuals who shared a vision that, in Freeman's words, "we could train a whole new generation of organizers who understood technology, who care about campaign management and who want to integrate the best of our volunteer and field organizing strategies with how you do things online."[3]

Recently, she was awarded the Most Valuable Visionary award at Rootscamp 2010, an annual conference organized by NOI in Washington, DC.[4]
