Description:

Social media, when used correctly, can be an immensely powerful tool for promoting events, expanding the public profile of organizations and causes, and, above all, raising funds. This presentation will provide an overview of how to devise a cohesive, successful social media strategy across various platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, E-mail campaigns, Linked-in, Crowd-Sourcing Platforms, and organizational websites. It will explore how this strategy should be used to enhance fundraising efforts and create lasting relationships with donors.

The Education Global Access Program (E-GAP) was founded through a partnership of anthropologists, teachers, IT professionals, and globally-minded volunteers. The non-profit carries out education initiatives throughout the developing world, and currently has projects in Peru, Guatemala, and India. Their approach revolves around using technology to create networks of human support that promote education and empower communities to become the stewards of their own futures.

She has worked for the past five years in domestic politics, managing campaigns in Virginia and working on the independent expenditure committees for Colorado State House races. She has worked extensively throughout Latin America and Western Europe, and in 2013, Ronis founded the Education Global Access Program (E-GAP) in order to create a development strategy that relies heavily on anthropological methods of ethnographic assessment and grassroots community empowerment, and that works with local forms of knowledge.
