About Activelink

Dedicated to Giancarlo Ramaioli 1959-2009

Activelink grew out of the Community Exchange mailing list, a project that Giancarlo Ramaioli founded in 1999, while he was a director of the Public Communications Centre (PCC). Giancarlo left the PCC in 2001 to become a director of Hyperlink and to launch his Activelink web site, which was the web-facet of Community Exchange.

Over time Giancarlo built Activelink into a premier resource for the non-profit sector, and the Community Exchange mailings became so large that they were split into two separate mailings, Activelink Community Exchange, and Activelink Jobs & Volunteering.

Giancarlo became ill in 2006, but remained at the helm of Activelink right up until April 2009. He passed away in May 2009.

Activelink is now managed by Giancarlo's colleagues from Hyperlink, and we strive to keep its ethos true to his vision.
