ASCE has a presence on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, YouTube, and Google+. Many factors could steer you to one platform over another. When you talk with the social media team, they can explain the different platforms and steer you in the best direction. We normally recommend starting with either Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter.
4 Reasons to Start with Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter
