My Charity Connects
I spent today at NetChange, specifically MyCharityConnects. Although it wasn’t exactly what I anticipated, today was really valuable. I was expecting a Social Media conference more than a Charity conference, but that is probably a result of my own assumptions (the name kinda spells it out. Oh well). I was nervous because I was expecting more Social Media experts, but was right at home with my fellow non-profit people.
Nonetheless, I received some really valuable information on e-advocacy from a session by Eric Squair that will help me expand my advocacy skills into social media, effectively! Some of what @ericsquair had to say really resonated with what I already know (which means I’m not totally in left field), but some other stuff made me think about messaging and campaigns in different ways and got me thinking about different approaches. Awesome inspiration.
The challenge now will be to retain the ideas that were generated, which are now slowly percolating in my head.
Back at it tomorrow! I will be attending a session on how to generate a following on Twitter (might come in handy considering my 65 followers, many of whom are likely bots!)
