“I’m honored speak to WCMA’s membership on communications for public agencies. WCMA foments thought leadership and has been an open partner for Tripepi Smith,” said Ryder. “I shared golden nuggets of wisdom and best practices that can inspire Washington’s local government leaders to see social media through a new lens. We all know social media is a volatile space for public agencies. My goal is to show people the tangible steps their agency can take to navigate today’s environment.”
Ryder shared his tried-and-true axioms, discussed social media as an engagement tool for local governments to make the greatest impact on their constituencies, identified the benefits of social media metrics and reviewed how agencies can respond to social media feedback and complaints.
