A question and answer session will follow, featuring a panel of local small business people that will share their Facebook tips, tricks and suggestions.

“In a 21st century economy, using social media to promote Hawaii’s small businesses is a necessity. I look forward to working with Facebook and the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii to help entrepreneurs start up or improve their use of social media to expand their reach and grow their businesses,” said Senator Hirono.
