Rochester Local Section Social Media Workshop: Sparkle where you are

The Rochester Local Section of the American Chemical Society had the opportunity to experience a pilot 'Sparkle where you are' highly customized program organized by the ACS Office of Pubic

Affairs.We were hosted by Nazareth College, home of most of the Rochester Local Section meetings. I have trained two Sparkle classes at the ACS Headquarters in Washington D.C. in 2011 and 2013 and was chosen for this project because I am the  Technology Subcommittee Chair of the ACS Committee on Public Relations and Communications. My presentation focused on how local sections can leverage Facebook and Linked-In to engage members and the public at their events.
