This session will tackle how we manage contacts in a social world. We will explore the intersection between contact relationship management (CRM) and social media strategies.

We expect a lively, interactive discussion of this emerging terrain; considering what the terms mean; how they intersect for donors, clients, activists and other contacts; what kinds of experiments make sense and what strategic challenges to take on.

Session Takeaways:

  1. Understand what Social CRM refers to and resolve issues about definitions
  2. Overview of technical means and challenges and low tech ways to get started
  3. Brainstorm for follow-up planning on what management of stakeholder communities might look like two years from now
