2023 SMBHOU Gift of Guidance – Help a Nonprofit and Learn
December 8 @ 08:30 - 11:00 CST
The Houston Social Media Breakfast will meet with 10 local nonprofits to help them with a strategy to use social media for their charity.
The purpose of this event is to help the nonprofits brainstorm ideas for their social media strategies for 2024. Table leaders and Scribes will be on hand to lead the discussion and take notes to share with the nonprofit. Register NOW to join us.
If you are looking for an opportunity to make a difference this year, come to the event and help us help others. Plus meet other communicators in Houston. You need no special skills, just a willingness to learn and share. So many people love this event because you are learning yourself as you go. Plus, you get access to a social media strategy method you can use for your own social media!
