Yup....I'm Connected!

When I was asked to join the advisory board of women putting together this year’s She’s Connected Conference, I was surprised…and honoured.

Am I really digitally connected? Well the answer is YES....and I have the bobblehead to prove it!

I have had the pleasure of working with amazing brands through PTPA and with Zack’s Dream Room and I’ve been so impressed with how some brands just seem to “get” the importance of reaching out to their consumers using social media. Generous brands (like WagJag and Microsoft plus too many more to mention) even connected with me. Several brands have actually reached out to me, after reading our story, to see how they could get involved in raising money for the charity in my son’s name. Some lovely new brands, like Purdy's Chocolate, even send us sweet treats to get us through some tough days.

How awesome is that?

Through the experiences of the last 5 months, I've found myself at a very different stage in my life, maybe even heading towards a new career. With my new found outlook on life, my family and social media...now what????

One way in which my journey is continuing are invitations to speak about Zack, his Dream Room and my experience with social media in fundraising. And now I have an opportunity to sit on one of the very impressive panels with the UNITED NATIONS (gulp) about ‘Social Awareness and Brands’ at She's Connected September 29-30th. This is my first year attending and I'm really excited to be a part of the advisory board to help plan a productive and fun conference with tons of opportunity to connect and share our experiences.

So...to start the sharing mood, I'm sharing this with you....

Let YOUR voice be heard by the brands we love most!

Good Luck!
