It is a great way for the little people like myself to be recognized for their efforts in the ever growing maze of social media for health initiatives and it is a chance for members of the PCOS community to give PCOS Awareness a voice!
So what did I have to say to the Shorty Awards Academy???
How do you or your organization use social media? What makes your use unique?
I along with the budding organization PCOS Awareness Association or PCOSAA, want to do more to exploit the educational potential of online technologies and social media. Therefore, we will do all we can to accelerate the move to the next generation of e-learning activities and resources within the online health, social and business communities. By engaging technology and social media, myself and PCOSAA will be able to provide an immediate response to the needs of patients and the healthcare industry through a comprehensive set of online resources and will increase awareness of this syndrome, its symptoms and the risks associated with PCOS worldwide. By effectively promoting and implementing through social media, PCOS research, treatments and education for the condition will be more recognizable among various medical disciplines and the public. This will allow for earlier detection and better patient care for the PCOS Patient allow us to empower women and girls to live healthier lives

Remember: Shorty Awards will only consider one vote from you. You may enter as many nominations, but the system will consider the last which you have placed. So make sure your reason for voting is unique, intelligent, and relevant.
Also, this will only work if you have an ACTIVE TWITTER ACCOUNT. If you don't have one, create one now and make it active by tweeting daily for two straight weeks. Shorty can detect if the account you have created is solely purposed for voting. Votes from such accounts will not be counted.
