Social media offers government a great tool for engaging with citizens, but it also raises some challenging questions: How can governments both ensure transparency and protect citizen privacy on social media? When mobile devices are increasingly replacing agency-controlled computers, how do governments maintain centralized control of data? As the desire for on-demand access to information grows, how can you leverage social media to improve access and service for your constituents? Most importantly, how do you do all this while satisfying the requirements of public records laws?

Helena, MT knows the answers to these questions and wants to share them with you in an upcoming interactive webinar hosted by the Center for Digital Government and ArchiveSocial.
