Nancy put together a intensive 2 day workshop for Engage Kingsport and Kingsport Cultural Arts. The workshops gave individual artists the confidence and tools they need to enter the Social Media world as well as helped regional arts organizations refine and enhance their current social media strategies.

What can be said about Nancy VanReece that you may not already know? There is a general consensus (and a look at her LinkedIn recommendations confirms this) regarding her wide-ranging talent for just about everything at which she tries her hand. As communications director at the Governor’s Books from Birth Foundation (GBBF), I was responsible for helping to coordinate a statewide summit featuring thought leaders and communications experts in the non-profit arena. During the planning phase for the event, when charged with finding a presenter for the topic of social media engagement, I knew immediately that Nancy was the best possible choice. Nancy is on the cutting edge when it comes to helping organizations create comprehensive social media engagement strategies. Her presentation at the Tennessee Executive Residence was eloquent, sleek, articulate and – most significantly – effective. Our attendees left the summit invigorated with a real sense of how to implement Nancy’s ideas and reach more of their constituents in the ever-evolving ecosystem of social media platforms. I cannot recommend her highly enough, and I hope to work with her often in the future.

Nancy was fun and informative. As the Luncheon Keynote Speaker for the Tennessee Conference on Social Welfare, Nancy provided great insight to a representation of over 20 different social service agencies. Her presentation spoke to each agency and everyone left with a more forward thinking mindset of social media and how it can be most effective and beneficial in telling their agency’s story! We loved Nancy!

I have the incredible privilege of working with Nancy at the Nashville Symphony, where she has thoroughly revolutionized our social media program. I hired her with this very goal in mind, and she has exceeded my expectations in every way. Not only does Nancy have a deep and thorough understanding of social media platforms, she has a coherent, fully formed philosophy regarding the use of social media that underpins everything she does. For Nancy, social media is about creating meaningful relationships with clients, patrons and members of the community, and she brings a genuine spirit of engagement to every interaction and conversation she’s involved in. She understands that each social media platform provides a unique opportunity to reach people in a different way, and she has done an amazing job of cultivating and tailoring the Nashville Symphony’s social media platforms to meet the desires and expectations of our fans and followers. Just as significantly, Nancy brings an upbeat, positive attitude to every task that she undertakes, including the demanding job of maintaining our website. In addition to transforming our social media program, which requires near-constant monitoring, she has learned about every facet of the Nashville Symphony in a short amount of time, and she is always coming up with innovative ways to provide meaningful experiences and engagement to every individual whom we touch as an organization. We feel truly lucky to have her.
