Are your elected officials overreacting to negative comments and criticism on social media? Tired of watching them get spun up by a handful of keyboard warriors living in their mother's basement?

Then you need to enroll your elected officials in Sam Toles' new social media training course for elected officials. He is the social media master and a former council member. 

Lean on his experience and expertise to show your governing body how to analyze and assess the social media landscape.
