You've experimented with social media personally, but you're not quite sure what makes sense for your organization. Join us to learn how to choose and align your use of social media with the media preferences of your constituents. Moving all communications to the web makes sense -- but only if all of your consituents are online! You'll leave the session knowing how to integrate social media into your overall marketing and communication efforts ... it may even change the way you work! (Session is intended for persons who already have Facebook and Twitter accounts and use them. If you do NOT yet have usernames and accounts, please attend the April 21 webinar.)
