Greetings!
In June, don't get caught began its sixth year in business. I marked the occasion by updating the dgc website to better reflect my current services and wonderful clients. And I launched a new presence on Facebook for the Eloquent Woman, and a new contest (see more below). Don't get caught without entering yourself or a colleague for free speaker coaching!
Guiding companies on how to get into social media continues to shape my work. In June, I keynoted a VOX Global/AT&T briefing for the telecommunications company's nonprofit constituents on ways to use social media to advance advocacy, causes and fundraising. Up next: I'll be speaking to the July 20 executive board retreat of the Montgomery County, Maryland, Chamber of Commerce on strategic business uses for social media.
You'll also find me in New York City at the end of the month--please email me at info@dontgetcaught.biz so we can schedule time to meet!
Sincerely,
President |
