The Georgetown Dish and Georgetown Business Association (GBA) are launching a social media channel today for Georgetown-area businesses.

The network, titled “Out & About,” will be offered as a free benefit to members of the GBA and will include announcements and features about Georgetown businesses. As part of the effort, the cosponsoring groups will provide social media training for members of the GBA.

“I do a lot of work with national and international trade associations and everyone is looking at how to use social media [...] to help advocacy efforts,” said Georgetown Dish publisher Beth Solomon in an interview, adding that she believes “the GBA is ahead of the curve compared to other business associations.”

The website will launch tonight at an event at L2 Lounge.
