Social Media Marketing Workshop
Social Media Marketing Presented by Nicole Harbin of CEED
October 22 — 9am to 11am in partnership with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn as well as other social media sites have gained popularity recently. Just as a business owner has a business plan, there is a need for a social media plan or strategy. This can be done by taking a critical look at your customers, potential clients, suppliers, competitors, and your overall business needs. This workshop will focus on how to design a social media plan, what sites to use, and how to make the most out of your online social media account or accounts.
Workshop to be held at
Triumph Church, which is located at
2760 E. Grand Blvd, Detroit, MI 48211

Background Information
We all live in a watershed. A watershed is all the land area that is drained by a river system. A watershed plan recommends how water resources, such as the Detroit River, can be protected and improved as land uses change. Creating a watershed plan is an approach we can use to evaluate our watershed conditions and implement projects to improve the health of our watershed. We hope you will join us in this initial conversation.
