About this event

Social media has become one of the most powerful tools for civic engagement — but only when it’s used intentionally. In this session, social media strategist and author Heidi Dean explores how women communicators can use social media to spark meaningful conversations, educate communities, and build trust online. Attendees will learn practical strategies for clarity, visibility, and connection that support grassroots advocacy and community leadership. This session focuses on impact over algorithms, and conversation over performance.
