Thanks, Laura, for your question! @wmaddrey suggests this ... One suggestion is to do an assessment of your stakeholders, including those you have today and those you have tomorrow. For those you want tomorrow, an inexpensive outreach effort(s) can be conducted via social media, assuming it aligns with demographic – in terms of technology access, educational level, age, etc. - as a way to begin to grow that group. In addition, once you assess your stakeholders, you probably will find that there is a certain set for which SM is not a fit. No matter how hard you try, you will not successfully force this change. So, with those where it can align, look at how it can make your life easier. Can you use Facebook to announce upcoming volunteer opportunities? Can you use Twitter and others to announce and share grant recipients? Can you allow stakeholders, volunteers the ability to post photos of the nonprofits efforts to a Flickr photostream? Can your annual event be filmed and an edited (i.e. Shortened) version be posted to YouTube? Etc.

Informative and fun presentation. Thanks.
