You’re Invited to a Multi-Chapter Webinar on Social Media Skills

In a great example of inter-chapter cooperation, the Carolina, Southeastern Michigan, and Rochester chapters of STC are combining their expertise to present Lightning Strikes Thrice: Recharging Social Media Skills for Tech Comm Pros. The webinar takes place on Thursday, 20 January, at 6:30 PM EST (GMT-5).

Using Twitter to Achieve Tech Comm Fame and Fortune
Peggy Harvey of the Carolina Chapter will describe how she used Twitter as a tech comm graduate student to expand her horizons and become part of the tech comm community. She’ll demo a tool you can use to monitor Twitter effectively and provide tips on how to become a productive tweeter—without going crazy in the process.

Recharge Your Career with an Electrifying Online Portfolio
Mark Lockwood of the Southeastern Michigan Chapter will discuss the benefits of creating and leveraging an online portfolio to increase business and networking and how the Southeastern Michigan Chapter has implemented this feature on their website.

Shockproofing Your Use of Social Media
Social media has stormed its way into our daily tech comm work and private lives. Did you know that, at the same time, cyber criminals are pouring millions of dollars into attacks on social network users, often to conduct identity theft? Do you know how to protect yourself? Ben Woelk of the Rochester Chapter will talk about the top ten things to do to stay safely grounded as you use social media.
