NONPROFIT BOARD TRAINING SERIES
New in 2016,
NetworkPeninsula is offering individualized training to full nonprofit Boards. The training is designed to
ENCOURAGE, EDUCATE, and EQUIP Board members and to provide them with the tools needed to lead their nonprofits toward a sustainable future. To learn more, click here.
At our recent workshop on Social Media for Nonprofits, Courtney Buzzell, from Proximo Marketing Strategies, shared the free benefits of HootSuite. It is used to schedule posts to Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms but it is also a great way to let interns and others help with your social media tasks without having actual admin access to each. Once posts are scheduled, you or a designated person, can view them to make changes, deletions, etc. before they actually hit your followers' newsfeeds!
