Making Social Media Work
What does it mean for your mission and your organization?

Sponsored by the Alliance for Nonprofit Mangement and Citi
   

Social media and networking have exploded over the past two years. In general, it serves as another way to engage people with your work. It may expand your pool of potential donors and volunteers; it may get you “good press;” it may even facilitate your mission by increasing communication with service recipients or improving delivery services. On the flip side, it may also be impacting your operations. An organization’s social media efforts require staff time and knowledge and may take up valuable technology resources (computers, internet bandwidth, etc). Volunteer and/or staffs’ personal usage of social media may impact their work and also consume valuable resources in addition to time.


This half-day session with your peers and experts in the field will help navigate social media’s impact on your organization, both how it helps and how it may hinder. Come learn about not only the tools that are out there, but also the infrastructure you need to be successful in the new online environment.

Based on Dr. Rob Sheehan's book by the same name, this session will show you how to apply innovative ideas on Breakthrough Thinking which are used by leading companies, like Google, so that your organization can produce revolutionary improvements in all areas of operation – fundraising, program impact, and more. Sheehan's new model of strategy and performance will provide you with practical tools you can put to use immediately.
