I’m speaking at the Essex County Community Foundation’s Institute for Trustees on March 22, and the topic is “Online Marketing & Social Media: What a Board Member Needs to Know”.

If you’ve seen me speak, you know I cram in a ton of information into my sessions, and this one is just one hour.

I wanted to come up with a quick checklist of all the questions and To Dos that I go over with my clients when forming a social media strategy for their organization.

Here it is, as a free JPG for you to download: Julia’s Nonprofit Social Media Checklist 

Julia’s Nonprofit Social Media Checklist

    For people who find the last directive: Do you post to one social network at least once per day? challenging, I have a solution for you. It’s called Nextscripts, and it’s a free wordpress plugin.
