The Webinar about Social Media, Cities and the Law in Washington State

The recording of a pretty detailed webinar about social media, digital communication, governments in Washington state, the law and cheese is up! It's available for your viewing pleasure. I tell people in all candor that it's about 75 minutes, so have coffee nearby. I'm very grateful to attorney Ramsey Ramerman for his lead role in, really, the state of Washington, in making important information known to local governments.

Here's the slideshow. We debated whether to post it separate from the webinar. We already got some feedback, well said, that we left something out. We really should have counseled elected officials and others to meet not only with attorneys but also their IT department. The computer people play a huge role in this, as we discuss in the webinar, and Ramsey and I agree we could have called that out better in the slides.



Something that's a bit frustrating is that we don't really have an online forum anywhere to have an 'afterparty' to discuss what came up during the webinar. So the webinar happened, there was a good discussion, and then everyone dispersed. But someone familiar with the webinar's contents will probably enjoy the question and answer document which we worked on after the webinar was concluded.
