South Boston - Halifax County Tourism, the Halifax County Chamber of Commerce, and the Industrial Development Authority of Halifax County are partnering to sponsor a series of free workshops aimed at helping local businesses and organizations learn how to use social media more effectively.

The series, developed and presented by Glerin Business Resources, will kick off at 6pm Tuesday, December 6, in the conference room at Riverstone Centre.  The first workshop will be an overview of the major social media outlets, explaining what each is, how they differ from each other, what they're used for, and how they can be used together in a coordinated way.

In January the series will continue with monthly workshops focusing on a different social media outlet each month.  Stay tuned for more information, or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with inquiries.
