For this changed business environment, a new concept for meetings and groups. The Hilton Head Island Difference matches an organization's social responsibility commitment with an area nonprofit. Choose a two-hour, half-day or full-day time period, and we'll develop a community service project aligned with your group's needs. It's the elegance of a Hilton Head meeting with the purposefulness (and team-building power) of a social responsibility component. Contact Jack Reed, director of sales, at (800) 523-3373 or jreed@hiltonheadisland.org.

Ganging Up on Social Media
By JEFF RASCO and CHRISTINA RASCO ADAMS
Like many in our industry, we've struggled a bit getting our heads completely around social media. Who gives a twit about Twitter? Who has the time to face off with Facebook? Will they even still be around by the time we've mastered them? Where do we even start?
