Set for Thursday, January 31, at 7 p.m., or Friday, February 1, at noon, each free identical webinar will last less than one hour.

“We encourage farmers and others interested in advocating for the industry through social media to join us for one of these trainings,” said ADA North East CEO Rick Naczi. “No one can tell your story better than you can, and in this digital era, it’s the fastest, most effective way to share positive messaging.”
Participants in these training sessions do not have to be a member of DairyFAN, the innovative leadership and social media advocacy outreach program sponsored by ADA North East. DairyFAN is designed to help interested promoters in advancing their knowledge and ability to engage on social media in the growing and complex public dialogue surrounding food and farms.
Members of DairyFAN participate in interactive social media engagement and leadership training, food issues education, and networking opportunities through digital initiatives around food. To join, members must be 18 years of age, a resident in the ADA North East territory (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware and northern Virginia counties); active on at least one social media channel; and be passionate about advocating for the dairy industry.
