Women Grow Business, a blog community of female business owners and entrepreneurs powered by Network Solutions, invites you to join us for the first session in our "Pay It Forward" series: Understanding Social Media for Your Small Business. 

While social media is becoming a more pervasive channel for small businesses to try to promote and engage their customers, there is still a lot of confusion and questions on how to best go using this medium.  We want to help pay it forward by imparting relevant guidance and insight to women businesses on the benefits, tradeoffs and tools around social media and how it can support their efforts. 

Who is the event best suited for?

Women small business owners who are looking for guidance on how to start or optimize their social media presence. 

Where is this event going to be?

We will be holding the event  the morning of 5/5 at the Capital Room at Venable LLP in Downtown DC.  We'll provide the coffee and morning munchies and hope you'll delight us with your presence, time and questions. The morning program will include an interactive working session and a chance to network with your peers.
