Read Lynn Morton’s review of the School of SocialFish workshop, Blogging for Your Association.

“Working for a “traditional” nonprofit, I wanted to engage current and future members and donors using the latest technologies. SocialFish helped us to integrate social media making us very 2.0. We had some ideas, but Maddie and Lindy made them gel!  We had two training sessions: one for blogging; one for social spaces (FB in particular). We’d tossed around starting a blog for some time but never got around to it. The training gave us hands-on time to create and link to social spaces on the spot.” - Ayoka Blandford, Communications and Member Marketing Director, BPW/USA and BPW Foundation

“Maddie Grant and Lindy Dreyer are the best in the business! Their expert knowledge and training on current, effective social media outposts like Twitter, facebook, LinkedIn and Flickr has been an invaluable resource to us.  With the help of these two social media mavens and their School of SocialFish, our staff feels confident guiding our association clients in the right direction when it comes to best practices and strategy.” - Alex George, Account Executive, Fixation Marketing

“The quickest, most effective and enjoyable three hours I’ve spent learning about blogging was at SocialFish’s intro to blogging for associations. We explored lots of areas and touched on the technical, how-to and marketing aspects. Very comfortable learning environment too!” - Peggy Hoffman, President, Mariner Management & Marketing LLC
