Social Media is a Place
                          • It’s a place where
                            conversations happen and
                            ideas get shared.

                          • Define the space – why do
                            people come to your place
                            over others?

                          • Why do YOU go to this place?

Social Media is SOCIAL :)
             • Standard social norms and rules apply
                    (think: reciprocity and the Golden Rule)

             • How do you socialize in “real life”? How
                    would your organization, if it were a
                    person?

             • Converse!

              •          One of the biggest potential impacts of social media is the
                         opportunity for communities to grow online without direct action
                         by the organization.


              •          Empowering your community by giving them louder collective and
                         individual voices ultimately magnifies your organization’s impact.

3 Things for Building Stronger
                             Choirs

          • KNOW WHERE your choir hangs out (online) and
                  be there, as well.

          • PARTICIPATE IN CONVERSATIONS in other
                  places; test the waters for your ideas; share
                  your voice; build friendships.

          • LISTEN to what your people are saying and
                  incorporate the feedback.
