Government Executive Magazine Invites You to Attend
the Complimentary Leadership Breakfast

Social Networking

Thursday, July 9, 2009 • 7:30 AM–9:30 AM
National Press Club • 13th Floor Ballroom
529 14th Street, NW • Washington, DC

President Obama has called for agencies to engage the public in the business of government – and they have responded. In just a few months, agencies have created dozens of Twitter feeds, Facebook pages, videos, among other online tools. But is all of this social networking working? What have federal agencies learned about how best to use these tools?

Join Allan Holmes, Executive Editor of Nextgov and Government Executive, and a panel of experts for a discussion on the status of social networking in the federal government.

Panelists include:

SCOTT HORVATH, Public Affairs Specialist, Social Media, U.S. Geological Survey

Dr. MICHAEL KILPATRICK, Director for Strategic Communications, U.S. Department of Defense Military Health System

MIKE NELSON, Visiting Professor of Communication, Culture and Technology at Georgetown University and former Director of Technology, Federal Communications Commission

Moderated by:
ALLAN HOLMES, Executive Editor, Nextgov and Government Executive

The Leadership Breakfasts are a complimentary series of events designed for Government Executive subscribers on leadership and management topics. Events are held at the National Press Club unless otherwise noted. Space is limited.
