Building Momentum

As a neophyte to the whole social media thing, I sometimes feel like an explorer form those old time safari movies. Machete in hand, I hack my way through the jungle to clear a path and whenever I get closer to seeing a path in front of me, some vicious several-times removed cousin of a housecat roars in the distance, convincing me to change my route in hopes of finding a new way to reach my goal without getting eaten.

Like the safari leader working his way through dark shadows of the triple-canopy impenetrable jungle, I am hacking away at a temporary Facebook page promoting the Delaware Department of Labor 11th Employer Conference. And like the Jungle Jim of days gone by, with every step forward a new obstacle is revealed.

I’ve sent emails’ used multiple platforms; and yet the hoards of “likes” have yet to materialize. It’s seems I will have to be more persistent and keep “whacking away” at the dense jungle of competing messages

So if you could drop by https://www.facebook.com/pages/Delaware-Department-of-Labor-11th-Employer-Conference/685256118220032 and “like our page/event.

Conference Brochure Done

Remember – These notes don’t represent any official position of the Delaware Workforce Investment Board or the Delaware Department of Labor. Rather they are my personal thoughts and only represent my opinion.

Well, after much pushing, pulling, and tugging our registration brochure is all set. Some great folks at the Delaware Department of Labor worked slavishly to pull it together, gain consensus, and work through whatever errant commas and grammar hiccups to develop a wonderful piece of work. Dandy just dandy.

To see it for yourself and register for the conference just go to http://dol.delaware.gov/events/2014-EmployerConference/

There will be a press release in the near future.

I hope to see about 300 businesses and 50 vendors there. It’s gonna be great.
