Staten Island’s Nanci Richards;  Educator, Comedian and Tour Guide  thought, “Sree was a great speaker, taught me the “ABC’s” of social media, showed me how to relate to my teens and made me realize I am competing with the pope for social media attention!”  Long Island Jewelry Designer Sueanne Shirzay also came away from the event stating, “I always learn something new from Sree, even though I’ve been round the social media block.”

Newly appointed President and CEO of the Staten Island Museum, Cheryl Adolph welcomed the over 80 guests to this exclusive event. Sree delighted Executive Directors from the Nicotra Foundation, Staten Island Zoo, and the College of Staten Island Tech Incubator with tips and tricks to leverage Social Media for Social Good. Marketing Directors from AARP, the JCC, St. George Theater, and the Alice Austen House Museum joined the engaged audience.

Visitors to Staten Island from as far as India, England, and Germany were drawn to the Snug Harbor campus for the first time to attend Sree’s status report covering current digital, mobile, social – and life – interests and obsessions.

“Social Media and Social Good an Afternoon with Sree Sreenivasan” brought world-class Social Media expertise to Staten Island. The event attracted many first time visitors to New York. Many attending never experienced the majesty of the Staten Island Museum and Snug Harbor Botanical Gardens and Culture Center before. Sree told the audience he calls museums “Palaces of Wonder” and that they were in one.

“It was wonderful to be at the new campus of the Museum and to be so warmly welcomed by the community,” Sreenivasan said after addressing the involved crowd. “I met so many wonderful people and hope to be back again soon.”
