The idea hits you. You type up an article furiously, grab your camera and a tripod, or hop on your mic and hit record on your audio software. You just finished creating a DYNAMITE piece of content, and you can't wait to share it with your community. You hit "Enter" and wait...but, the results were not as you expected. How could this be?

In this session, you'll learn how to create stories that stick by utilizing free graphic creation tool Canva and how to distribute your content through social media in a way that hooks readers and gets them to not only click through, but read and share your story.

The "Get It Online" lunch discussion series brings experts in social media and digital communication to the NPC for a members-only lunch discussion. The speaker will deliver a short presentation, and then answer questions and lead a discussion.

Members and guests should plan to be seated by 12 p.m. The cost of the event includes a buffet lunch, water and iced tea, tax and gratuity. The cost is $15 for members and $75 for non-member guests. The event will conclude by 1:30 p.m.
