The Collaborative of the Suburban Chamber of Commerce has scheduled an additional session to concentrate on the power of LinkedIn.com. The initial session was well-attended and well-received. Thanks to feedback of participants and the effort of Management Consultant, Sandi Philips, the nonprofit "group’s hug" will result in a follow-up session to be held on Wednesday, April 2 from 8-10am.
The agenda for the initial session included Online Identity and Social Networking for Nonprofits. The most effective social networking tool for businesses and nonprofits, LinkedIn.com, was too large a topic to start last week; LinkedIn will dominate the discussion when we meet again at the Upper Moreland Library, Willow Grove, PA.
The first session allowed participants to share their existing knowledge and request more information re:
- Risks of Social Networking – personal and professional
- Choosing the proper tool
- Sharing information
- Preserving authenticity
These issues, and additional resources targeted to meet the strategic planning needs of nonprofits, will be covered in the next session. Those who participated in and/or registered for the first meeting will receive new handouts via e-mail. Those who cannot attend are encourage to refer to the LinkedIn Blog or blog with author Jason Alba (see my sidebar). Visitors may click on this link to purchase useful books on Relationship Marketing, including Jason’s Facebook and LinkedIn books, directly from the publisher.
Participants who wish to share comments or ask specific questions are encouraged to do so on this blog. Those interested in attending Wednesday’s program should pre-register by phoning: 215.947.4427 or via e-mail to: Karen@CareerAcceleration.net or KevinWinters@comcast.net (mention The Collaborative.) There are six seats left; please reserve early for this FREE program.
