[Chapter-delegates] Chapters and Social Media

[Wendy Rickard]

Folks,

As part of my research for the Chapter Handbook, I am looking at ways  
in which Chapters use social media, such as Facebook, Linked-in,  
Twitter, and others. I have noticed that many of you are integrating  
social media into your Chapter work and I would like to know more  
about how you are using it. Do you think these tools are useful? If  
so, how?

If your Chapter is using social media, please send me a note and let  
me know what works (and what does not seem to work) as well as if you  
have a specific social media strategy. More specifically, it would be  
helpful to know how you think social media can be used for best  
results in areas such as Chapter communications, attracting new  
members, discussing relevant topics in a timely fashion, and rallying  
members to participate in events, activities, and projects. Examples  
of how your Chapter uses social media is the best way for other  
Chapters to see how it is done, so please pass along lessons learned,  
tips, and insights.

Your feedback by Monday, 16 November, would be most appreciated.

Anne has also commented that your input will be useful for staff as  
they continue working on ways to support Chapters in areas of  
membership and communications.

Many thanks!

Wendy Rickard
