Getting Started on Social Media for Small Non-profits
Social media offers great cost-effective opportunities for social profits to communicate with their communities. Knowing where to start or what to do when you get started can be challenging if you’re not familiar with the options and how social media is different from traditional forms of communication. This session will share fundamental principles for effectively using any form of social media and include a high level overview of your options and how to decide what steps to take.
