Smart Communities, Engaged Citizens
They’re already there. Your citizens and businesses are engaging with each other, talking about your community, and doing business with each other.
And your community’s voice is, well, is an aging web site.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
Using the same web sites that your civic stakeholders are already using, you could be helping lead the dialogue, getting important information to people, collecting opinion on issues from zoning to schools to property tax. And all with safe, secure, and standards-compliant tools.
Tod Maffin will show your attendees how successful cities and communities your size are already using mobile and social media to be more effective in their communications, cutting costs, and — most importantly — developing an engaged, active citizen base.
He’ll break down three successful campaigns for re-election and walk your group how the elected representative used specific digital tactics.
The keynote is fast-paced, information-packed, and fun!
“Delegates at our convention are elected officials and senior staff from local governments. When they saw Tod Maffin, digital communications strategist, listed as the keynote speaker there was definitely some concern. ‘That social media stuff is for my grandkids’ were the type of comments we were hearing. But after Tod’s presentation – we had attendees coming up and saying ‘Thank You! And how do we book Tod to present to our own councils and boards?’
“Elected officials who didn’t expect to enjoy the session were very pleasantly surprised to find that they did enjoy it, and that the information was presented in a manner they could relate to, understand, and see the value in using social media from a local government perspective. We would highly recommend Tod.”
