I am one of the instructors for the Professional Social Media Certification Program at Sonoma State University School of Extended and International Education. I will be guest speaking February 6, 2014 and teaching April 17 and April 24.
The Professional Social Media Certificate provides participants with training and experience developing a social media campaign in their industry.
