Introducing our We Are The Media team
Hi! My name is Bruce Wolfe. I am the CIO and a social worker with Marin Institute- Alcohol Industry Watchdog. My team partner is Neil Irwin, an intern on this subject here also at MI. He'll fill you in on his background.
I have been in the tech field since my first Commodore VIC-20 in 1976. I, also, hold a masters degree in Social Work and a 30 year veteran martial artist/instructor/tournament judge, the past 25 in T'ai Chi and others of the school of Chinese Internal Arts. I have managed over a dozen political campaigns websites and CRMs including social networking. I continue to be a student of social media as the trends are changing by the moment and keeping as open mind as possible and thinking outside the box is essential.
Marin Institute monitors predatory marketing and products by Big Alcohol on children and youth. We also provide a considerable amount advocacy for coalitions and organizations that connect with youth, parents and government. So, outreach is essential for us and with the plethora of social media and networking, our target audience is quite active in these mediums. We are very interested in the bleeding edge considering we are one of five groups in the country that actually do this work on a (inter)national level but specifically direct and legislative action. This workshop, we hope, will enlighten us on areas not yet covered internally that we may be able to take advantage of including what other non-profits are doing to provide the same results; increasing outreach, broadening email list, spreading the buzz, etc.
