Many of us still don’t know what they are or how they work. This is your chance to learn about media tools in a friendly, convenient setting. Denise will show us how to use these social media tools to "ignite" our work and ultimately get noticed. Come listen and learn while she shows you how to engage in this new form of marketing and make it work for you!
