Socially Adept?

NAR's Association Executive only training starts on Friday. Dubbed "AEI" ("I" stands for Institute) it is the #1 chance each year for your staff to get the latest "how to's" in association management.

The biggest training focus this year...social media. That's really handy since I'm teaching our next Lunch&Lean on March 31 called "Real Estate Marketing in the Age of Social Media".

Here's what I'm signed up for:
The Risks and Rewards of Engaging in Online Communities
Applied Social Media Trends
New Team Based Google Apps
NAR's Social Media Agenda
"Will You Be My Friend"

There's tons more on the agenda...I've attached a link. NAR also posts all of the handouts before the meeting starts...here's a link for those too.

BTW - As part of NAR's Right Tools Right Now initiative, my expenses for this meeting have been paid by NAR! In year's past this conference had a price tag of $500 plus travel. This year NAR has said that they want every AE to be able to get this valuable training, so they are footing the bill.

BTW2 - I've been on Twitter now for a week. Following 13 people/things and being followed by 8.

Consider the evolving vocabulary - "friend" a verb - to invite someone to join your Facebook page..."follower" - a noun - what you do on Twitter to stay connected to those you follow.

Sign up today for the March 31 Lunch&Learn....
