<h4>VSBA Early Bird Workshop
Wednesday, November 16, 2022
The Williamsburg Lodge</h4>
Join VSBA’s Communication Consultant Kenita Matthews as she will present on the ever important topic of staying engaged with community members and communication tactics. To begin this session, school board members will learn about the basics of communication and how to stay engaged via the most popular social media platforms. Kenita will discuss the differences in each, and what this means for the public officials who use them.

Once the basics are taught, the session will switch over to a more interactive presentation. Within the second hour, school board members will use recent news headlines to explore the laws, policies, and terms of use public officials are obligated to adhere to when using social media.

Within the last hour, school board members will go beyond theory to put what they've learned about social media into practice through tactics and tips to demonstrate proper social media etiquette.

You do not want to miss out on this informative session and learn how to properly stay engaged with your local constituents!
