Social Media Strategies: Beyond the Basics (Level II)

If you are a local government professional who is actively managing your town/county social media accounts, this program is for you.
Now that you’ve established a social media presence, how do you get the most from it? How can you use Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms to inform and engage your community?
Do you know how to develop an effective social media policy for your organization? What does the First Amendment protect in terms of citizens’ comments? How about employees’ comments?
Bring your device (tablets, phones, etc.). We will be using them!
In this one-day, interactive course 9am-4pm, you will:
- Get tips for increasing reach and engagement through various social media platforms;
- Learn the elements of an effective social media policy;
- Walk away with specific strategies to make social media work for your organization and community.
