&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/images/blog/shop.org-mini.gif" style="float:left;margin:10px;" width="75" height="75" alt="" /&gt;E-commerce professionals, here&amp;rsquo;s an opportunity to make a lasting impact on your industry: the National Retail Division&amp;rsquo;s e-commerce community, Shop.org, is accepting applications for a new Think Tank to launch in September. The mission of the new group will be to harness the collective vision of e-commerce thought leaders and tackle the most pressing issues the industry faces today and over the next 10 to 15 years.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A subset of the Shop.org Board of Directors will select 12 members for the group based on &lt;a target="_self" href="http://www.shop.org/thinktank"&gt;applications submitted&lt;/a&gt; by August 13. Once established, the Think Tank will produce content and materials to be distributed through the Shop.org network, addressing issues such as the future of retail, disruptive business models, cross-channel strategies, e-commerce and social media, international expansion, open brand strategy and others.&lt;/p&gt;
