A couple of reminders, the Gurus will answer any questions you may have on social media for your organization and we want to make it as easy as possible to ask a question. You can:
- Submit a question to: gearup@casefoundation.org
- Leave a comment on the Guru's blog post the day before their session at www.casefoundation.org
- Ask it in real-time via the chat function that will appear under the livestreamed video.
- Or, If you're on Twitter ask a question using the #AGC hashtag
Thanks again! - KDS
