Tuesday Roundtable: Defining online engagement

Merriam Webster hasn't tried yet. Can we put a definition to on·line en·gage·ment (/ˈänlīn enˈgājmənt/)? http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/7/9/c/4/event_99331172.jpeg Fresh from completing research on the topic, Ann Yoders -- a seasoned professional serving non-profit organizations for over 12 years -- will lead a lively round table discussion as we seek to define online engagement. Ann will be joined by some of the leaders in online strategy:

Keith Berner, Former CIO, IREX (http://www.irex.org/) Joanne Olson, Director of Communications, Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Inc. (ARVO (http://www.arvo.org/)) Maddie Grant, Social Media Consultant, Social Fish (http://www.socialfish.org/)\ Tom Jelen, Director of Online Communications at American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Michaela Hackner, Project Director, Forum One Communications (http://www.forumone.com/) While we will touch on how to measure engagement, the focus will be on creating an engaging experience for your audience. Come share your thoughts & be inspired to rethink your perspective of online engagement.
