Join Zenia Wadhwani of CanadaHelps for a morning of social media training.  Learn about how to plan out social media activities and how to integrate them into your other initiatives.  You'll also learn about some great ways to get stakeholders onside to invest in social media ... and to use it!

Two sessions will be held back to back:

• Getting Your Board on Board – Feeling anxious about telling your Board you need a Twitter strategy? Is your Board skeptical of the value and return on investment social media can provide? Or, do they have unrealistic expectations that you’re going to sign up on Facebook today and raise $1 million tomorrow? Either way, get the information you need to manage your Board’s expectations around social media. Find out the best ways to present the value and tangible benefits of social media to get your Board on-side.
• Social Media Planning – Now that you’ve got your staff and board excited about social media, what’s next? Like most plans, it starts with a strategy, one that's based on a desire to build relationships. What does a social media plan look like? What are the key elements? Where should you dedicate your time and how can you make most of your efforts? This session will present strategies and tactics you can employ, and will touch on how it all ties into the communications plan you’ve already got.

Please join us at the Mississauga Central Library for these timely and valuable workshops. Light refreshments will be served.
