WEST BEND, WI — Laura Mitchell Consulting (LMC) announced today that their strike team of digital media experts has been selected to provide social media magic to West Bend’s inaugural Nonprofit Conference, coordinated by the Volunteer Center of Washington County and hosted by West Bend Mutual Insurance. This Nonprofit Conference is designed to educate, empower and connect local nonprofits with one another in an unforgettable event on April 28th, 2016 at the West Bend Mutual Prairie Center.

“We wanted to develop a conference that would truly help our not-for-profit community,” said Sue Millin, the Volunteer Center Executive Director. “LMC’s team of digital experts was a natural fit to provide the live stream of content and add that digital energy and expertise to our event.”
LMC will be providing social-based content throughout the day, photo and video interviews on Facebook and Vine, and a stream of real-time conference highlights on Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Live feeds will help both local and remote participants be in multiple places at once, enable more productive networking, and remind everyone why this show is an important event for all nonprofits in the area.
