Presentation on how the Operations Innovation Team, a result of a public-private partnership between the Mayor's Office of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and the Los Angeles Coalition for the Economy and Jobs, built the city's real estate portfolio and configured it into a flexible and accessible asset management system.
The effort leveraged a number of technologies, including LA County's varios open data portal, LA City's Geohub and open data portal, a PostGrs database, APIs and more.
Various stakeholders and groups also supported the project, like Compiler LA, the Office of the Controller, LA County's GIS and Assessor teams, and numerous City departments,
Voto Latino's Power Summits are one of my favorite events of the year. This Sacramento edition was my 6th one as a speaker, and I was given the full 90 minute "Stealing the Spotlight" session all to myself. The focus was on effective content creation, how technology impacts it, how to combat a crowded 24-news cycle, and the ways media affects behavior.
In total we had a 45 minute discussion with a 20 minute activity and a 5 min share-out.

Social Media as a Professional Development Tool - Leaders on Fast Track / His...Juan Sebastian Vasquez
Workshop and presentation on how social media can be leveraged as a professional development tool.
We focused on 3 core pillars:
- Owning and telling our personal stories as a way to develop opportunities and connections
- Building and growing a personal brand that connects the right skills and keywords to your name
- Learning to operate digital tools so that eventually you can build and sustain an infrastructure
Each point carried a personal story that illustrated how to to implement it.
Before starting open discussion I shared a handful of specific tactics and recommendations:
- Gradually build it all up - pace, patience
- Use screenshots
- Speak on panels, workshops, events
- Go from an online public interaction, to a DM, to a professional coffee
- Use LinkedIn & Twitter notifications as additions to email followup
- Request LinkedIn recommendations
- Scan social media before events
- Connect people to each other
- Buy your domain
Along the way participants filled out a paper guide that asked them to note down the following:
- 3 words or phrases that summarize personal stories
- 3 keywords that describe professional skills or aspirations
- 3 tools they commit to learning how to use in the coming months

Levering the digital space to accomplish organizational goals can be difficult.
However, by creating alignment between digital efforts and all other aspects of operations, any organization, individual, or movement can build momentum and generate positive results. It involves these 3 things working in unison:
1. Telling Stories That Connect
2. Prioritizing Real-Time Engagement
3. Growing 1 Community Through Another
SHPE #NILA2015 - Social Media & Digital Organizing for Nonprofits Juan Sebastian Vasquez
This workshop was prepared for the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) as part of their National Institute for Leadership Advancement (NILA 2015).
I presented this to a room of roughly 35 elected leaders for SHPE's various local professional chapters. In it I used origami to empower individuals to craft a path for their own social media efforts to help them achieve organizational goals.
The goal of this workshop was for the group to feel more comfortable using social media to accomplish organizational goals. To do this we covered three main concepts:
1. Create purpose in your social media content
2. Tell stories
3. Organize your community
To illustrate each of the three main concepts, I shared different stories that highlighted pro tips in leveraging social media.
This guide was used for a training on Facebook as an advocacy tool hosted by the National Council for Jewish Women LA. My training was a part of a multi-week, 6-part training aimed at helping the 20-person cohort more comfortable with different parts of advocacy work, including organizing, media and message framing, and social media.

This provided the outline and framework for an internal workshop crafted for company employees on how to build relationships using Twitter.
Context:
The problem:
There is content that we all share among ourselves that we don’t share with our community on Twitter (articles, HOWTOs, customer projects that go live).
The solution:
We’ll help you define your voice and curate content better on Twitter so you can become an influential part of your online community.
Why you should come:
Honing your twitter voice will let you take ownership of content that NationBuilder has, and share ideas in a way that focuses on education. Then, when you have something important to say, you’ll have an audience ready- and eager- to listen.
In my own words, NationBuilder encourages a lot of shared learning, which is why we do Demo Day every Friday.
I was asked to give a talk on personal branding, how it ties into my work as an organizer with the company, and tips on developing thought leadership. Explore other talks and workshops I've facilitated at www.vasquezsays.com/leadership.
