Social Media
Mary will discuss the types of social media tools available to cities and the legal challenges and potential liability for a city associated with the use of social media. Some of the specific issues covered will be how should a city handle employees who use personal social media for official city business and what are the data practices and open meeting law issues related to the use of social media by employees and elected officials.
