Social Media: Legal Best Practices

Social Media is great tool for many organizations, including nonprofits and small business, to get the word out and market products and services. However, we have all heard the stories about what can happen if an employee hacks your account; someone takes to social media to write a bad review; or someone is using your business name.  While these might be rare instances, there are a few best practices you can follow to ensure success in your social media efforts. In this presentation, you will receive practical best practice advice to keep in mind while you engage in social media or if you hire someone to use social media on your behalf. We will be discussing methods to handle ‘situations’ that can arise and identifying what your organization is responsible for maintaining. In addition we will provide some sample social media policies to use for your organization.
