For social media posts, we recommend using first-person narratives and showing over telling.

First-person narratives:  Tell your audience why this is important to individuals in your organization.

Showing is better than telling:  With the permission of your guests, take a few photos of people in conversation and share them over social media. Write down some of the feedback you hear at your event and post it on your favorite social media service (be sure to ask permission from your guests if you want to use their names).
