10. Do you have any advice for other nonprofit CEOs who are questioning the need or value to spend their own time in social media? I see social media as part of my job representing the organization and being a thought leader. I don’t see how any executive director of a relatively public nonprofit could avoid it. In the future, I can imagine board of directors’ evaluating their executive director’s use of social media as part of their annual review. If you are nervous, start with one channel and build your confidence and community. It took me about nine months of writing tweets and status updates until I really felt like I got the hang of it. Along the way, I’ve gotten better by asking my staff for feedback and seeing which tweets or updates get the most responses. http://www.arc.org/ -- Rinku Sen, Executive Director of the Applied Research Center (ARC) http://www.bigducknyc.com/blog/social_media_for_nonprofit_ceos_how_one_executive_dire ctor_manages_it
