Social Media Charlotte is an organization promoting social media growth and knowledge within the Charlotte region. One event the group puts on are monthly breakfast that either has a speaker or panel to discuss either a topic within social media or how a company and/or person utilizes social media for growth. This growth could be new business, leads or community inspiration.

We strive that at least one person from Ritz marketing is in attendance every month. More times than not it is myself, Arleigh Jenkins, the Director of Interactive Services. Depending on the topic I may involve co-workers so they can better understand the forever changing landscape of digital interactions.

This mornings Social Media Charlotte breakfast was lead by Kevin Grandia, the Director of Greenpeace USA. Before I hit the items shared in bullet point format I would like to mention that Kevin was a breath of fresh air. He brought real time information for those in attendance. His ego wasn’t inflated even though he runs one of the more successful green non-profits in the US. Maybe his humble views can be shared to those in the digital sphere. Do good things, be the change.
