The first question to ponder, who will post on your organization’s social media sites?
“Who will feed the beast?” Determine who drives your social media presence. @PatrickWRollens #ELGLwebinar #PictureMeRollens

If you are going to open social media accounts – you need to commit. Use it frequently. @PatrickWRollens #ELGLwebinar #PictureMeRollens
