Social Media and Municipalities

Here’s a social media presentation I did yesterday at the Ontario Municipal Insurance Exchange’s annual professional development day.I’ve presented most of this content before, but my take on social media management is slowly evolving.

Thanks to the post-presentation discussion yesterday I have a couple of good new issues to ponder: (1) can municipalities bar counselors from tweeting the contents of open council meetings? and (2) can municipalities bar counselors from texting during open and/or closed meetings of council? I expressed some qualified views yesterday that I’m not yet ready to print, but am very intrigued and will follow-up on these issues. Thanks OMEX!
