It is the perfect time for SEMPO Institute to collaborate with SEMNE on providing educational support,” says Katie Donovan, Business Development Manager for SEMPO Institute. SEMPO and SEMNE will also be working together on events in the region. On January 9th, Katie Donovan will be a guest at the SEMNE bi-monthly meeting in Bloomfield, Connecticut, http://www.semne.org/meetings/wikipedia-social-media/.
