Engage with ICMA Content
Like
‘Like’ a post when you are interested, or enjoy, a piece of content, but don’t want to leave a comment. This is a super simple (and helpful!) way to engage with ICMA on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Youtube.
Share
‘Share’ (or Retweet) a post when you would like others to see a piece of content from ICMA’s accounts. Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn allow you to add these posts to your Wall/Feed/Home, while Instagram content can only be shared directly with another social media user on that platform. Youtube video URL’s can be shared on any platform except Instagram.
Comment
‘Comment’ on a post when you want to share your opinion on a piece of content, or engage in conversation with someone else who has commented on ICMA content.

Tag ICMA whenever you mention us in your posts! You’ll be sure to get a Share/RT whenever you share ICMA content. You can also tag other organizations or individuals that you think should be included in the conversation.
