Social Media: How Online Engagement Can Drive Real World Action

(3BL Media / theCSRfeed) March 16, 2011 - Both business and community organizations are struggling with how to take advantage of social media. On the one hand it appears that access to the public with key messages of community investment has never been greater. On the other hand, the world of social media can appear enigmatic and time consuming.

The two most common questions asked when considering using social media are ‘does it work?’ and ‘how can I make it work for me?’  These are important questions for professionals focused on workplace volunteering.

Whether your business is looking to engage stakeholders in discussions regarding your employee volunteer program or your local CVC wants to add real value to its membership, this session is for you. We will explore how to use social media to engage and cultivate relationships with prospective members, stakeholders, nonprofit organizations and the broader community.

By participating in this seminar, you will:

-     Understand the fundamentals, the hidden rules and potential of social media
-     Identify your goals for using social media such as increased awareness, stronger community  
      connections and real time feedback on your organization
-     Learn how to tell effective stories that engage your members and the broader community
-     Discover current trends and developments across the social web

This session will be presented by Chris Jarvis, Co-Founder and Senior Consultant for Realized Worth.
