Maryland Tourism Coalition<\/a>, and drew together some of the state\u2019s top tourism industry professionals.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
HSMC received an award for the \u201cBest Use of Social Media\u201d for their work over 2020.\u00a0 With the onset of state closures (including the outdoor museum), Sharol Yeatman, External Relations Manager, quickly pivoted to share positive and educational posts across the museum\u2019s social media channels. Working from home, Sharol used her creativity to stay within the museum\u2019s scope and encourage families to explore nature and make crafts with found items.\u00a0 Through the closure and eventual re-opening in June of that same year, Sharol used a mixture of short videos and graphics to bring engaging posts.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
