Could This Happen to You? If It Does, Are You Prepared?

The NY Alliance is excited to invite you to join us for a new webinar series, Prepared & Protected: Operational Readiness Insights!

Social media is used widely by professionals, businesses, and organizations.  Making sure that social media is leveraged for positive outcomes and personal/ professional benefit while minimizing risks is important. Likewise, ensuring staff are equipped to use social media as a tool for growth and engagement while staying aligned with organizational values and legal standards is also important.

This webinar will focus on the benefits of social media for not-for-profit organizations, the importance of developing social media policies and practices, best practices for use of social media, and reducing the risks of reputational damage, legal issues and workplace conflict.
