SMCLA "Social Media for Social Good" panel on April 17

Ever since Social Media changed the digital landscape a decade ago, we have seen an astonishing number of societal developments take place around the globe. Remember the London Riots in 2011? Residents reclaimed their city by using social channels to organize a massive cleanup effort. During Hurricane Sandy, Corey Booker responded to residents in need by tweeting. Now, Mayor Booker continues to use Twitter and Facebook to make a difference in the community he is responsible for.The Social Media Club of Los Angeles is proud to host some of the leading non-profit organizations in our community that are using Social Media for Social Good. Mark your calendars for April 17, when experts from the Surfrider Foundation, Invisible People and The Goody Awards talk about using social to engage, educate and activate. Learn from the best about what it takes to manage and grow digital communities. You will discover how to:

• Engage a community of followers and connect with them on an emotional level
