Digital Social Media Management

I am assigned to facilitate a workshop in Asia Pacific Regional Rotaract Conference 2011.

APRRC FINAL PROGRAM
Digital Social Media Management


Participants will discuss the impact of new digital media specifically
penetrating on social networks, its importance in public
relations campaigns, and relevant strategies for Rotaract club and district
promotion.

Facilitators: PDRR Devie Ontolan (Philippines) and PDRR Flo Espiritu (Philippines)


Things to research:
1. Topic coverage
2. How to be a good facilitator

Initially, I have found researches and videos on how to and why choose Social Media for Rotary Clubs. I am now analyzing that, in Rotaract, it should be more on “moderation” or engagement control. I will surely post after workshop insights.

See you in APRRC Subic

FREE DIGITAL MARKETING TALK

An interesting Rotaract talk will be conducted tomorrow. The topic fits the Rotaract generation of today. This is also interesting for me because Social Media in Enterprise Level is one of the topics I’m considering for my thesis. I’m sure this is another Rotaract “perk”:). I’m also interested if the talk can help digital branding for NGO like Rotaract.

No other than Carlo Ople is the resource speaker.

Event Details:
Event: Rotaract Club of Manila’s General Assembly and Professional Speaker Series Talk on DIGITAL MARKETING
Date / Time: March 12, 2011 (Saturday), 1 pm
Venue: Asian Social Institute located at 1518 Leon Guinto Street, Manila

What is Digital Marketing?

Mid-Year Review (MIDREV) 2011

Rotaract District 3780 Mid-Year (MIDREV) 2011
Quezon City Hall / January 29, 2011
Host Club: Rotaract Club of Cubao

In general, the Mid-Year Review (MIDREV) 2011 was successful. There were 60 Rotaractors, Rotarians and Guests (46 Registered Rotaractors, 5 Rotarians, 6 Host Club members, 5 Rotarians and 3 Panelists) who attended the event. This is the average good number for a MIDREV. Well, when analyzing events, most Rotaractors prefer attendance in party and out of town and not on serious reporting type of event.

Other Important notes:
-Most important lesson learned in hosting MIDREV focused in taking full responsibility for accepted assignments.
-Never thought that city halls are that good. I thought I was in Club Filipino. I forgot I was in Quezon City hall!
-Panelists were great in doing evaluation and giving suggestions.
-Great Presentation Tips Take-Out: present action pictures and not just cute pictures, put simple caption like event name, venue and date (should not be lengthy).
-Informative and Interactive guest speaker.
-Room size is not proportionate to the actual attendance.
-Lapses in program execution both for the district and host club.
-Conformity: When its formal, so be it!
Haha! I was guilty of this one last Saturday. For whatever personal reasons, one should conform with the dress code. Or was the formal dress code for participants only?:)
