I’m the Executive Director at Effective Giving Quest, a fundraising org at the intersection of EA and gaming. I also am an Organizer of WikiProject Effective Altruism, where we coordinate effective altruism related articles on Wikipedia, and am a moderator of r/EffectiveAltruism, the main EA subreddit with 20,000 members. Most of my history with EA is through my service at Animal Charity Evaluators from 2012–2022; I helped influence ACE’s formation in 2012 and became the 2nd paid employee in 2013 as Director of Communications. Between 2019–2022, I served as Secretary on ACE’s Board of Directors.
I’ve been involved with the EA movement since 2011, well before the phrase “effective altruism” was coined. I hope to continue being a part of the movement for many years to come.
You can learn more about me through my personal blog at ericherboso.org. I also have a profile up on the EA Hub.
The sidebar currently links “New to Effective Altruism?” to the EA network page, which isn’t the best introduction to EA. This, however, is an excellent introduction. I believe that a link to this page should be added to the sidebar.
