After receiving positive feedback from the first session, IAMU has scheduled a second session of the Social Media Workshop on Wednesday, August 19. 2015.  The workshop will be held at the IAMU Office and Training Complex in Ankeny.

22 persons representing 18 different IAMU members participated in the day-long workshop during its first session on June 10, 2015.  The second session will follow the same format.  Here's what one attendee at the June 10th session had to say about the workshop.
This is an invaluable tool for anyone who is managing or running the marketing/social media aspect of any organization. It was an invaluable class for myself, and quite possibly saved the Colfax Park & Rec Auxiliary Board tens of thousands of dollars in the long run. Hands down the best thing I have invested in and the Board had invested in. Its an incredibly informative class and people from all over the midwest came to it, and from all types of businesses and organizations. I highly recommend everyone goes and experience it. They will help expand your reach! Ours has expanded exponentially. In one day you can outstrip the social media presence of most organizations in your area and even get set up to manage these separate accounts in one fluid motion, saving you time and energy.--Connor Jones, Colfax Park and Rec Auxiliary Board
Agenda


8:30am-9:30am            Registration & Check-In
9:30am-10:30am          Social Media-Need and Strategy
In this session, we’ll discuss some of the reasons that cities and utilities should have a presence on social media, and explore which social media outlets are most important.  We’ll also discuss how your organization can develop its own social media strategy.
10:30am-10:45am        Break
10:45am-11:45am        Creating Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn Accounts
If your city does not have a Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn account, we will walk you through the steps to set those accounts up.  At the end of this session, your accounts to these three important social media tools will be ready to go!
11:45am-12:45pm          Lunch and Networking
12:45pm-1:45pm            Automating Your Social Media Messaging 
Setting up social media accounts is easy; ensuring that you are keeping content fresh on social media is not.  In this session, we’ll show you how to use social media aggregation tool Hootsuite to “create once, distribute many” and to schedule social media posts. 
1:45pm-2:00pm             Break
2:00pm-3:00pm             Introduction To Blogs and RSS Feeds
In this session, we’ll introduce you to blogs and show how the use of blogs and Really Simple Syndication (RSS) can provide you with another powerful way to communicate with your community.
