She will share her insights with us on today’s hottest topics— including how to leverage social media to connect with current and potential students…and how to engage audiences with mobile applications. JoAnn will also help us think more creatively as we think about creative possibilities for information delivery. JoAnn has a contagious passion and energy for the topics she teaches, and she has shared that passion with thousands nationwide. Now she will share that enthusiasm with IALL!
