Keeping Up With the Times - Embracing Social Media

Our world is so fast-paced that if you aren't constantly paying attention, you get left in the dust. Take for instance the social media revolution. How many of you have accounts on Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc.? And, that is just the beginning. Many of you 'Tweet' or at least follow friends and others on Twitter.

Need information? Not a problem! Information is simply a click away...if you don't believe me, watch this YouTube video: Did You Know on how quickly we adapt to the world around us and trust me, it can be overwhelming when you think about it!

If you are interested in learning more about Social Media or in a position to influence how your organization uses Social Media to reach your customers or employees, make sure to subscribe to attend the Blog Indiana 2009 Blogging and Social Media Conference. It is two days filled with sessions, summits and workshops on social media held on the IUPUI campus.

If you are interested in knowing what is going on around Indy, connect with others on IndyTweetUp or the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association blog.

Most organizations are embracing social media as a form of staying connected so don't miss out on your opportunity to stay on top of the latest technology before it is too late! Oh, and by the way, if you are reading this, you are part of the social media revolution - congratulations!

Welcome to EWI Indy Blog

Greetings! This is Julie Easton, VP/President-Elect for the 2008-2009 board year. This site has been set up for the Executive Women International - Indianapolis Chapter.

I am so excited to be creating our first blog. My goal with this blog is to have a forum to exchange ideas and information, provide training as requested by members and increase our communication between members and member firms. If your firm has a need, post it here. If you have ideas for discussions or training, post it here.

My hope is that we increase our utilization of social media and offer many ways for our members to connect and also invite potential member firms to learn more about what we do. If you have a Facebook account, let us know so we can connect. We also have an Indianapolis Chapter page; simply search for Executive Women International - Indianapolis Chapter. We will be posting monthly meetings as well as committee meetings. We will have discussions and continue to increase our awareness in the community.

If you have any ideas for how to improve this blog, our Facebook page or would like for me to set up other social media links, please email me at jeaston@walkerinfo.com.
