Social Media and Your HOA:
How to Take Advantage of — and Protect Your Community Association from — the Best and Worst of Social Media


An Exclusive HOAleader.com Webinar 
With Practical Tips for Condo and HOA Boards


Thursday, March 22, 2018
2-3 p.m. Eastern

Keeping your owners informed and involved in your condo or HOA is so much easier today with social media sites like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.


However, those sites can also be hotbeds of anger and misinformation.


What's a wise HOA board to do?


Join us for an incredibly timely webinar on March 22 to find out how to use today's social media websites to build a stronger community and how to avoid the damage that can be done when it's used to attack your association, your board, or your residents. The information-filled presentation will be led by two community association experts with decades of hands-on experience in advising associations.


You'll learn:


  • How social media can help community associations and how it can damage them
  • The benefits of setting up social media policies and practices
  • What to include and not to include in those policies
  • Which social media sites are best for what purposes; for example, when is Facebook a good platform for community associations? What about Twitter?
  • How to determine who should be in charge of your association's social media accounts and how they should determine what to respond to and even delete
  • What types of posts help you meet your community association's social media goals and what types can interfere with your goals
  • Real-life examples of how community associations got tripped up by social media madness
  • Tips for handling sticky situations, including attacks on your association, your board, or your owners, plus outright falsifications, when they arise
  • The most recent news and legal issues that have arisen when it comes to social media and community associations
  • And much more!

In just 60 minutes, you'll hear valuable information you can use now to be more effective in managing your community's social media efforts. Register now for this informative event for community association board members.

How Do Webinars Work?

A webinar is remarkably cost-effective and convenient. You participate from your home or office, using a regular telephone and a computer with an Internet connection. You have no travel costs, hassle, or commute time.


Plus, for one low price, you can get as many people on your condo or HOA board to participate as you can fit around a speakerphone and a computer screen.


And now, with our special group membership offer, your entire board can attend—even from different locations. This offer requires an HOAleader.com Group Membership. When any group member orders, we will set up access for the entire group. Up to 10 users can attend for one low price. It's another incredible deal as part of HOAleader.com Group Membership.


Because the conference is live, you can ask the speakers questions via the webinar interface. Many attendees tell us this is the most valuable part of the webinar.


You will receive access instructions via e-mail several days before the event. You don't need any additional materials before the webinar starts. Your conference materials will be available for you to view, print, and download when you log in to participate in the event.


 
Attend with Confidence

If you are not completely satisfied after attending an HOAleader.com event, let us know within 30 days, and we will refund 100% of your registration fee ... no questions asked.
