Social Media Advocacy
Options for Social Media Advocacy
Helpful Rules to Remember:
Be articulate and professional in any tweet, retweet, or post.
It is recommended to create professional profiles separate from any personal profiles.
Engage in useful debate and discourse - avoid negative discussions.
What you post online represents the larger GEAR UP community and is online forever.
