General wisdom in the realm of social networking tells us to use the tools already available and readily accessible to your constituency. But what if Tweeting can't go far enough and a Facebook page is too one-sided? What if you and your organization realize there’s a niche only you can fill? Network for Good found the answers to these questions by launching a new online community space - The Network for Good - to move from broadcasting information to a new way of sharing and facilitating communication. Join members of the Network for Good team as they share their insights, highs and lows and “aha!” moments about building community.   

During this webinar, we'll:  

• Answer the burning question: Is a community right for my organization? 
• If the answer is yes, find out how to build it right, from planning to launch.
• Find out how to keep it up. Learn what works and what doesn't when managing a community.
