SMB5 program

Our main guests at Social Media Breakfast 5 will be Alan Graham and Rachel Patterson from Austin-based Mobile Loaves & Fishes (MLF), an organization that has been serving the city’s homeless and working poor since 1998.

MLF is already active in social media, using video, blogging, Facebook, and Twitter (see links) …

• Mobile Loaves & Fishes blog
• MLF on Twitter: @MLFNow
• MLF on Facebook
  

… but as Alan explains in the video conversation with Bryan Person above, what is really lacking is a comprehensive social media strategy. That’s where we come in!
