This document provides guidance on developing social media policies for organizations. It discusses establishing expectations for social media use, educating staff, protecting brands, and avoiding legal issues. The document recommends involving social media users in policy development, teaching the policy, allowing for personal connections, and regularly reviewing policies. Effective policies balance rules with guidelines, focus on successes rather than failures, and link social media use to organizational values.

SASUG April - Building Social Networks and the Social JourneyDavid Broussard
A review of what an Enterprise Social Network is, why we needs them, and how to embark on a Social Journey that will actually get you to your desired destination.
Since the dawn of time, humans have been using stories to connect. Storytelling is what binds us together as a species; it is what links us in our communities. Today, we unwittingly use storytelling every day in our social interactions. But, we often leave this powerful tool at the door when we enter our professional environments or when we do use stories we often don’t maximize their potential.
As non-profits, we frequently fall back on facts and figures, hoping that they will tell our story. And they do tell part of the story but they usually don’t strike the emotional chord that a simple story can. It is the emotive power of storytelling that we want to harness. We want to use story to allow our supporters to see themselves in our story and to allow them to join in a shared story. No matter what we do for a living, we all want to accomplish something bigger than ourselves, to leave our mark. Use storytelling to open the door for your prospects to do just that. In this presentation we’ll talk about the power of storytelling, how we can find our stories and express them through video, visuals, data and our writing so we can effectively use story in all our online communication channels.
Takeaways
• Why storytelling is so powerful
• How to use video to tell your non-profit story
• How to use social media to keep your story alive

12 Steps To Become a Social Leader
Around the world and across industries, top executives who were once convinced that social media wasn’t worth their time, now consider their participation in these networks as essential to their role.
As a result, more and more top executives see the benefits of being open and transparent and take part in the social revolution.
Increasingly, small and medium sized charities are growing their fundraising programs by running team-based events like runs, walks, and other "-thons".

Monthly giving is an incredibly powerful way for you to kick-start your fundraising program’s earning potential. Cultivating relationships with donors who are already connected to your cause by asking them to make smaller, ongoing gifts means more money for your organization today, and a strong list of prospects for upgraded and larger gifts in the future.
Donations of securities are currently one of the most tax-smart ways to make charitable donations in Canada – but is your charity set up to accept them? CanadaHelps has you covered! Since 2007 we have been successfully helping our charities to accept donations of publicly traded securities and mutual funds. This webinar will outline how the donation works for the charity and the donor, how CanadaHelps processes gifts for your charity and how to market, promote and speak to donors about this type of donation.
Our speaker Paul Nazareth, VP of Community Engagement at CanadaHelps is a 15 year planned giving professional who is a national instructor with the Canadian Association of Gift Planners, has worked with securities donations in charities of all sizes and with the advisors who make these gifts happen.
