Take-aways from the Voluntweetup event

NPower Seattle published an article about what they took away from last week’s Voluntweetup event in Seattle. In the article they present some advice mentioned during the breakout sessions in addition to their own observations and opinions about training non-profit groups.

For nonprofits sorting out how social media fits with their other communications efforts/strategy, the advice was the tried and true “think audience then message then match it to the best medium” mantra. Another tip was to focus on our stories — of our impact on individuals and on the community. Social media is about stories, so use the medium to let our stories proliferate.
