The Aug.19 presentation will be “Getting Started with Social Media for your Business,” presented by Tammie Nielsen, CEO of TK Media Inc. “Social media is real media”, said Nielsen. “Companies that don’t learn how to use it correctly will be left behind at best, or worst case, irrevocably damage their brand.”
