Just in from Gloria Ferris, Midtown Brews partner for the Oct 2 Midtown Brews conversation...
I have received a lot of yes's for participation in next week's Brews -
Political bloggers-Jason Hass
Social media networks-George Nemeth
Marketing opportunities-the Insivia group- Andy Halko, Eric Purcell, Laura Wright
Cleveland Collectivo-Lee Chilcote and colleagues
REALNEO and Put It on The Ballot Campaign-Susan Miller
Sustainability-Marc Lefkowitz, Green City Blue Lake
This will make for a lively conversation on how we can enhance and enrich advocacy here in NEO using network and web 2.0 tools.
This will not be a talking heads forum, but rather a conversation among advocates who will share ideas and solutions to challenges that may surface as well as the sharing of stories to show how we can strengthen community engagement and open conversations to impact economic development in our own backyard.
Background info on the program -
Our topic for the Midtown Brews in October is Public Advocacy-political, social, and environmental. Our goal is to have a roundtable discussion that showcases how individuals and organizations use social media and web 2.0 tools to advance storytelling and community advocacy. There will be no one guest this time but rather a group of advocates sharing their experiences.
