Skunks, For a while now, LakeHub (www.lakehub.co.ke (http://www.lakehub.co.ke)) has made significant efforts to build and strengthen the tech community in Western Kenya. The effort has made tremendous progress and is looking to grow beyond their early success by hiring a manager to lead the initiative through a new period of growth and development. I'm sharing this in hope that some of you may be interested.

Hey Simeon,
How is everything? Long time no chat, and hope all has been well in Nairobi. Thank you again for your time and inputs on the "LakeHub" idea ... we've been doing alright for ourselves and now I have a very quick, but super-helpful favor to ask if you can spare 2 minutes.
Do you mind forwarding a job description to lead the growth/development of LakeHub to a few people that could be interested and well suited.
As you know (but can now just forward on to colleagues and friends), LakeHub - www.lakehub.co.ke (http://www.lakehub.co.ke/) - is a growing and enthusiastic community of techies, and entrepreneurs based in and around Kisumu, Kenya.
We're ready to take the next step and looking for a full-time, paid Manager to lead LakeHub forward. LakeHub is seeking someone who shares our passion, won’t take “No” for an answer, and is interested in the position described in the attached document.
It's incredibly important us to find *the* correct candidate. I think it is the most important decision we'll make - and with the right person I think there is a very bright future for LakeHub and for the successful candidate.
If you can pass this on to a couple (2? 3?) friends, former co-workers, or acquaintences in Kenya that might be suitable for the role - that would be a tremendous help. Feel free to send me names to look out for, and/or any other thoughts/advice you have to share on how we can make this hiring process a success.
Let me know if this is something you can do. Even knowing who is spreading the word will be helpful for us to guide the hiring process.
Thanks very much - really do appreciate it, hope to talk soon.
Warm regards, Evan
