In 2018, there's no getting around using social media and digital tools (e.g. apps, texting, chatbots) when communicating with clients, providers, volunteers, and other stakeholders in the HIV community. Many organizations are interested in using these tools, they just need someone to help them understand how to plan and effectively leverage technology. It's not just about having an online presence. It's about our effectiveness in reaching people before they walk through our doors.

USCA is coming up in a few days and if you are attending the conference, we don't want you to leave without stopping by the Social Media Lab. At the lab you can learn how to leverage social media for your professional brand or for your organization's goals.
