Program
The meeting program will feature a keynote talk, "Making Social Media Practical: Health Applications for Transformative Technologies," by Lee A. Aase, director of the Mayo Clinic Center for Social Media.

From blogs to Facebook and from Twitter to YouTube, the power of worldwide broadcasting and publishing is now available to anyone. Aase will share how Mayo Clinic progressed from traditional media relations to direct-to-consumer news delivery to conversational marketing, giving patients a platform for their stories. He'll also describe the rapid growth of the Mayo-sponsored Social Media Health Network, a global gathering of organizations using social media to promote health, improve health care and fight disease.

In addition to Aase's talk, the meeting will include the annual business meeting, presentation of the 2012 Recognition of Outstanding Contribution Award and installation of the new MSHSAA president.
