On Thursday March 1, 2012, at 1:00 Central, Josh Rock, Account Executive with JobDig/LinkUp, and Paul DeBettignies, VP of HireCast Consulting will present a free webinar on the basics of Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and a few other tools.

The event is designed to help prepare attendees for the Winona Area SHRM 2012 Spring Conference, but it is open to anyone who wants to participate.  You can sign up to participate in the webinar here.

The Winona Area SHRM conference will take place on Tuesday March 13, 2012 at the Riverport Inn in Winona, Minnesota.  Jennifer McClure will be presenting two sessions:  ”Why Social Media Matters to Your Business,” and “Using Social Media in HR & Recruiting.”  Half- and full-day registration options are available.  You can register for #WinonaSHRM12 here.

These are great opportunities for professionals (HR and non-HR) to learn how to use social media in your professional roles, and in your businesses.  I encourage my Winona area friends to take advantage of a couple of national conference-quality events very close to home.
