Pro Tip:
In social media people listen to other people, not to organizations. Reminding readers that they are reading posts from real people helps create an online relationship.
1. Be attentive to the stories of staff and the work they are doing. 2. Remind your readers that your organization is full of real people by sharing stories about staff (or ask staff to share their own). 3. Publish!
