i’m your suggested contact
Yesterday I was at MaRS for Net Change Week. I was an expert at Social Mastermind // Social Media for Social Change hosted by RedWire. I had the opportunity to share ideas and brainstorm with the ladies from Raising the Roof Canada’s only national charity for the homeless. I really enjoyed learning about homelessness in Canada and was happy to chat about their youth initiative. They haven’t really tapped into social media which gave me lots of opportunity to share my ideas on how they can use social media for good. There was lots of Twitter talk!! In the end, each group came up with a tangible strategy that they could to take back to the office and execute. It was awesome to see friends hard at work helping charities. Prime example, these fine gentleman…@d_hock, Andrew Lane from @nitchblog and Julian Brass from @notableTV. I’m have always been very interested in youth issues. When I was in high school I was Director of PR on the City Youth Council and we started a rock festival and opened a drop-in centre for city youth. It was rewarding and gave me an opportunity to learn a lot about PR and how to turn ideas into reality. In the evening session I made an appearance at Wired Wednesday. Everyone was wearing name tags with a suggested contact on it…I was theirs.
