Hi all,
 
The International Social Marketing Association (ISMA) and the Social Marketing Association of North America (SMANA) will be holding an event called "Social Marketing, Civic Engagement & Fueling Democracy" on November 8/9 (depending on your time zone) that will explore real world examples of how social marketing has been and can be used in the democratic process. From changing voter behavior among low voter turnout populations to helping citizens get what they need to vote and participate in elections, they will underscore lessons that every social marketer should be thinking about as a key part of their work. Finally, they’ll share key recommendations to support efforts across jurisdictions.

Speakers:
