Grant Wilson and I have gone through and updated the GCR organization directory. The directory now contains 130 organizations. The new entries are below. Please let us know if we may be missing any organizations.
Reflecting back on the seven months since the directory was originally published, it has proved quite useful. it has been used for job searches, general networking, and just to get a sense for the scope of the GCR community. This has been Exhibit A in our effort to dispel the somewhat widespread myth that GCR is somehow a fringe topic that nobody cares about. When this myth comes up, we just link to the organization directory, which seems to work pretty well.
