Social Media Monday (Vol. 3, No. 10)

April 1, 2013

Join Us at MDOT for Webcom!

The date for the next Webcom meeting has been set for April 17^th from 2 to 4 pm at MDOT in Hanover.  The topic of discussion will center around the launch of Maryland.gov and our next steps as we incorporate the departmental websites.  Social media has a prominent position in this redesign and it is vital that our social media managers understand the links between the posts that they craft, press releases and the importance of visual content and the messaging on their websites.  We are combining our meetings this quarter in order for the social media managers to hear all of the important information that will be presented to our web folks.

Please make plans to join us!
