The document discusses how associations can use new media tools like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter for advocacy and engagement. It provides examples of how some associations like the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities in New York and the Independent Colleges of Washington are using these tools. The session aims to acquaint participants with the major social media tools, show how some associations currently employ them, and discuss new strategies for creating more effective online communities through partnership.
