Collaboration is an important business concept, and building and maintaining relationships with stakeholders is the linchpin to continued business success.  This session will examine the critical elements of an effective communications plan to ensure it conveys your business message.  Additionally, we will discuss the importance of knowing your target audience, using SMART goals to create measurable objectives, and reviewing commonly used social media platforms to determine the best way to execute your message based on your stakeholder demographics. 

 

A question-and-answer period will follow, and attendees will be provided with an extensive list of internet business resources.
