SDEA Membership Organizing Team will meet tomorrow in Pierre, SD to learn about social media.
The team will not use social media to engage members but instead will explore related tools to help manage its campaign to recruit new members.
The idea to explore and engage in social media was the idea of SDEA leaders during their last team meeting. I will be giving the group a tutorial on various social media tools that may help with SDEA's membership campaign--help the team centralize its communications and organize data related to the campaign.
I created a closed private social network using an online tool--"Ning."
[note to HSTA folks-- this is the same application that HawaiiConCon.org is usingto manage their online awareness campaign. See: http://www.hawaiiconcon.org/]
You are welcome to join the network and observe...
SDEA President Sandy Arseneault's interest in leveraging social networking with association business encouraged her to create her own network as "A place where our local presidents across the state stay connected to SDEA and network with each other."
Sandy is also a member of SDEA's over 20-member Virtual Membership Campaign Network, a private social network established to support leaders and staff throughout their Summer/Fall membership campaign. Sandy and other association leaders suggested that they all begin to apply a myriad of Web 2.0 tools to the work of membership organizing. Leaders and staff agree that understanding appropriate applications of these Web-based tools will prepare them for the near future when they'll expect to have to "go online" and recruiting new, younger members..
