Facebook Community Boost Program Coming to NOLA Aug. 7-9

By Tristan Babin Blog

The Facebook Community Boost Program, a multi-day workshop that will bring together small business owners, entrepreneurs, job seekers and community groups is coming to New Orleans Aug. 7 – 9 at River City Venues 1380 Port of Orleans PL New Orleans, LA 70130.“We’re inspired by what small businesses have been able to do using Facebook, but we
want to do more—particularly for those who are transitioning to careers that require more digital skills,” said the company in a statement.  “That’s why we have launched the Facebook Community Boost program, which will visit 50 cities across the US in 2018, in an effort to help US small businesses grow and to equip more people with the digital skills they need to compete in the new economy.”

Attendees of the program will learn how to use technology to grow their business to learn new skills. Some of the workshops being offered include:

  • Facebook for small business 101/201/301,
  • Facebook for non-profits,
  • digital skills education,
  • leveling the playing field with big brands by going global,
  • Instagram for small businesses, financial readiness, and other programming to help make it easier to run a non-profit or business

Since 2011, Facebook has invested more than $1 billion in training, technology, tools, support and research to help people and small businesses alike. In the US, this includes training more than 60,000 small businesses in person and more than one million small businesses online. And, we recently created a digital marketing curriculum that will help train people in digital skills development over the next two years.

AMA NOLA President: Board Seeking Volunteers

By Tristan Babin Blog

Hello Members,

The Board of the AMA New Orleans Chapter is seeking an infusion of new ideas, energy and enthusiasm to lead the organization. As the incoming President of the Chapter, I am turning to you, as an AMA member, to give you the opportunity to deepen your connection and increase your return with the New Orleans Chapter, by getting involved at the leadership level.

As you probably know, the AMA New Orleans Chapter is a completely volunteer-led organization, only as strong as those willing to commit to lead. Past board members will tell you that being a chapter leader has been one of the most fulfilling volunteer commitments they have made, both professionally and personally. In addition to enlarging your professional network within the Greater New Orleans area and nationally, board participation will also offer you the chance to hone your leadership skills.

If you are interested in getting more involved, please fill out the volunteer interest form here by June 25 and a current board member will be in touch within a week of that date to discuss appropriate next steps. Until then, thanks for your interest in and commitment to the AMA New Orleans Chapter.

Sincerely,

Brett Napier
AMA New Orleans President
