Local governments must communicate with their residents on multiple levels - distributing news and information, calming fears, celebrating achievements or improvements, and building awareness of county services. In this new age of split-second communication through digital media, it is more important than ever that local governments understand social media and how to use it most effectively. MACo's Social Media Symposium will provide a look at strategic public outreach using social media.

 

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how social media can work for their counties, best practices of methods currently being used by other counties, and a framework for building or improving a social media strategy of their own.

 

This event is free for MACo Members.
