As a small business, social media is overwhelming and often feels like you’re just spinning your wheels.
You have to figure out where to be, how to be engaging and how to get results – all with limited time and resources.
In this session, S.B.D.C. will provide a recipe for social media that saves time and gets results to grow your business.
You’ll learn how to choose the right social networks for your business, the 15-minute social media plan and getting started in the pay-to-play world of social media.

Terlingua Fire and E.M.S. has created the First Annual Regional Fire Academy with slots for fire departments in the Tri-County area of Brewster, Presidio and Jeff Davis Counties.
Fire Chief Susan Martin said the course can be online and there is a two-week check-in. She hopes to have the course start this month but it could slide into April.
The course will provide information that will allow applicants to apply for starfighter certification.
She said the department has eight new volunteer firefighters but a problem many face is a lack of
housing, which she said is “almost non-existent.”
For more information on the academy, call Chief Martin at 325-234-5285.
