The ad council has donated print,tv and radio ads- a $2m value.

Speaker five: Lauren Bailey VA and digital communication

22M veterans but the VA reaches less than half.

Now have 75 twitter feeds, blogs and Facebook.

Reaching vets where they are.

Facebook and twitter have been effective.

The more you talk with folks the more they tend to come back.

Lauren manages VAntage Point blog

Vets meet up on facebook. Connect with team members. They are going where the veterans are.

Twitter is used to communicate with industry partners.

Flickr has been incredibly effective. Also on YouTube. Lots of video communications are internal. YouTube is used to spread the word by publishing these videos.

The team don't seek to control communication but rather to make it easy for community managers to use the channels.

Still working to measure reach and impact.

Hard to channel questions to the right people quickly.

Governance is not about control. It is about making it easy and sharing resources.

Now for the Q & A...
