All: Being an MPI Social Media Guru Isn’t Without Its Challenges
"Theresa (& others) thanks for clarifying. Theresa you know that I was one of your advocates when you introduced the social media guru program.

All: Social media management between show cycles?
"We engaged our conference social media outposts all year long and consider it the perputal conference.
