Is your nonprofit organization using social media to drive engagement?  RT? Share? Hashtag? Reach? Follow? Do you know these terms and how they can support your messaging? These terms and are second nature to younger professionals, officials and stakeholders but somewhat bewildering for those more comfortable with more traditional or early communication tools. Want to learn how to effectively tell your story via social networks? This is the class for you!

Nonprofit organizations are by definition, connected to the communities and stakeholders they serve. However, a question that frequently arises in both new and mature organizations is this "what does it meant to be truly "engaged"?

• How can organizations be truly connected with their stakeholders, clients and community members?
• Is your organization in a state of readiness for engagement? Can it or has it mobilized support
• Is that support sustained or sustainable?
• How does your mission fit with the needs of the community as well as the views of constituents, members and the community at large?
• How can you connect your resources to the needs of the population you serve?
• How can you recruit others to join your cause and advance your mission?
• Is your organization capable of raising its profile, build lasting relationships and advance its mission for the communities its pledged to serve?

This workshop will introduce participants to the concepts, tools and leadership steps necessary to build healthy community engagement.

Registration is required for this class.
