Got npskillz? Tools & tactics for nonprofit social media

Em Hall and I presented to a great crowd at Digital Capital Week’s nonprofit day today. Thanks, everybody for turning out — and thanks for the super questions. Check them on Twitter #npskillz.

My favorite, “Focus on brand or issues for NPO social media?”

Humungous thanks to @emilyhaha for the kickoff idea and wisdom as always!
