I just started a new job. It's a partner organization to the place i resigned from earlier this year. In terms of good work etiquette, who do i need to inform? I also am on the board of several organizations.. so far they've been reaching me on my cel and land line... (since i no longer could be reached at an office)...do i need to inform them as well?

You resigned and moved on...unless you severed a contract, left them hanging, or have a non competition clause somewhere you should be comfortable in your "coming out of the closet".
It is very common and natural to move within an industry. In America the majority are classified as "at will" employees. Unless your former employee takes business decisions personally everyone will be alright,
Ask yourself this...did they expect you to remain unemployed?

As long as you haven't broken a code of ethics, then you're OK. I wouldn't reveal any confidential information about myself, because that is nobody's business. If you are asked by your employer; that's different, but I wouldn't just make calls to tell them. Your past employer should be the one to inform the contacts of your leaving their company; you have made the decision to move on. On the other hand; If you are wanting to keep these contacts (for business), then you'll need to be careful with that. Definitely tell the boards you're on that you're now employed by someone new, but only if these boards are directly related to your job (past or present). If they are not related, then just tell them that you can no longer be reached at your old number, and here's a new one where you can be reached. Good luck!

It is always best to put the word out AS YOU GET THE QUESTIONS DIRECTLY but it doesn't need to be advertised so long as your immediate supervisors know what's going on. They have probably told your network anyway. More than likely, if you're as networked as you say you are, telling a few key persons (the sales department is good for this) gets the word out fast. . .especially if it happened to be a competitor Others will call you to confirm the rumors, so if you have nothing to hide, why not clear the air?
