Social Media, it seems like a simple thing, right? Get on Facebook or Twitter and post something? Yes, absolutely but, like anything, there is a bit more to it. The intent of social media is to provide a way for people to ENGAGE - it may point you to a webpage or other source (an online article or printed publication, for example) but our goal is to get you talking and sharing thoughts and idea â and maybe stimulate new ones! So, bring on those âLikesâ, âFollowsâ, and Comments!
Our Webmaster and Social Media Director, Kathi MacNeill Lafser, will work closely with The Galley editor, Vicki Corporan to highlight key articles and content ânot reproduce it, but instead help you find it. As a team, we will work with the Branch Commissioners, Membership, Quartermaster, and most other teams as well. With social media in the mix, expect to see polls, âquestions of the weekâ, pictures and more ways share our Macneil heritage broadly â as you can imagine, that means we need YOU!
If youâre on social media, give us a âfollowâ or a âlikeâ â the current platforms with links are listed at the end of this article. In the first half of 2018, weâll focus on building our following and engagement on the existing platforms, later in the year, weâll evaluate âwhereâ else we should be and will take suggestions (look for a poll or survey!!). If youâre not on social media and want to be but donât know where to start, drop me a line at cmaaSocialMediaDirector@gmail.com and Iâll see what I can do to help!
