Drupal Organic Group Contact Page
I have been working on a new social networking website for a non-profit I support. Of course the site is created using Drupal. I am relatively new to Drupal, but I love it, and this was my first time using organic groups. I was looking for a group “contact us” form and I decided to use a view. I created a simple users view, passed it the organic group as an argument and filtered to just admins. I added a page to the view at path node/%/contacts and menu tab named “Contact Us”. Now all my groups have a tab linking to a view of the group’s admin users with their names and links to the user’s contact form. This works for all groups and still protects the user’s email address. For those more experienced with Drupal, this probably does not seem like much, but I feel good about a simple, but functional solution.
The Innovator's Prescription
I was browsing through the book store a couple months ago and saw this book. Since I was in the Master of Healthcare Innovation (MHI) program at ASU, it seemed like a book I should read. The book is very interesting. I appreciate the authors' perspective on the important role disruption plays in healthcare reform. He offers many solutions that draw from examples in other industries. I find myself using it as a reference in many of my graduate school assignments.

ASU MBA Volunteers Visit Sunshine Acres Children's Home
Last weekend I helped organize a volunteer effort for Sunshine Acres Children's Home. About 25 students and alumni from the ASU W.P. Carey School of Business spent Saturday morning demolishing parts of an old house to get it ready for remodelling. It is amazing how much damage a determined group of MBAs can do in a few hours. There were no injuries, but lots of sore muscles. Everyone had a great time.

Arizona Optimists have a new website based on Drupal http://www.azoptimist.org/
I finished working on a new website for the Arizona Optimists. It is a Drupal site with a number of different types of content. It seems to work pretty well and the Optimists are happy so far. I have a list of changes to make already, of course. Web sites are living things that grow and evolve. It will be fun to see where this one goes.
