Q&A
4:49 — Q: Does Boeing do any outreach in the community or with education groups?
4:50 — A: We do, but we need to do it more. We participate in STEM, but we haven’t a good job giving them access to more of our engineers.
4:51 — Q: How do you determine what content is interesting to your audience?
4:52 — A: They tell us. They like to see a lot of planes and pictures. One of the most successful post was a picture of a security dog in a seat on the 787. Earth day posts and working in developing countries are items we want to get out, but they get very little attention.
