Arkansas, here I come!

Religion Communicators Council // Thursday, March 31 – Friday, April 1st
- On Thursday, March 31st, I will be presenting 10 Things I’ve Learned About Producing Webinars. Webinars can be a highly effective way of engaging your constituency, boosting brand relevancy, and gaining trust. This workshop will provide you an introduction to producing a webinar and help steer you clear of the pitfalls.
- On Friday, April 1st, I will be part of a Social Media Panel. This panel will debunk assumptions, help you clarify your goals, and provide advice about how to apply social media in a faith context.
Learn how you can register for RCC 2011.
If you are seeking a featured speaker, or would like to catch me at an upcoming event, I invite you to learn more.
Own Your Health Now!
In recent months, I’ve been working with the team at OWN YOUR HEALTH NOW to develop their event website. OWN YOUR HEALTH NOW is a nonprofit catalyst for community cooperation to provide completely volunteer-driven, convenient sites where free and optional, low-cost health screenings and education are available to any adult 18 years and older in the Kansas City metro area – insured, uninsured and under-insured alike. This is a ministry of Lenexa United Methodist Church, and the very popular 9Health Fair in Denver, Colorado.
I encourage you to visit their website, and if you live in the area, they are seeking volunteers. It was a joy to work with OWN YOUR HEALTH NOW.
If you are a ministry or non-profit in need of web development, I encourage you to learn more about how I can assist.
Best described as a tech-toting evangelist for web and social media, Matt Carlisle consults with non-profits and faith groups to make the necessary changes to fully embrace new media.
