All in all, we have...
 * created and clarified our social media strategy
 * mapped our network to understand who we are reaching and who we can tap into
 * lowered the number of platforms we are on to simplify and make more impact
 * better defined the people we are trying to reach as well as our strategy and objectives using the POST worksheet
 * created an editorial calendar which has helped us organized our content and plan ahead
 * begun thinking about how to strategically post content, in terms of eye catching titles, timing of post, etc.
 * begun working on simple tools to measure our impact
