Social Media and Donor Relations: A Strategy for Success!
Speaker: Lynne Wester, Donor Relations Guru
With the dust is settling on the social media explosion, now is the time to take a careful look at how this tool best fits into an overall donor relations strategy.

This session will help you navigate the world of social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) and be able to translate its benefits to your leadership.

Speaker: Barbara Glickstein, MPH, Co-Director, Center for Health Policy and Media Engagement at George Washington University
