Social Media Managers Series

An option for further training in Social Media Management is being offered by Jo(e) Social Media the weekend of Small Business week. Not the kind of course where presenters tell you stories of success, you get excited and then go home and get frustrated because you didn't learn how to replicate the success. This is a hands-on workshop with only 10 seats available where you'll learn exactly how to maximize social media for your unique needs. Grant funding is available.

Message info(at)joesocialmedia.com for details. In order to make this happen in person, we will be adhering to the REP. All attendees will require proof of vaccination, or proof of a privately-paid negative rapid test result taken within 72 hours of service, or documentation of a medical exemption.
