Communications Committee Report on NCNMLG\u2019s Social Media \u2013 Shannon Meaney<\/p>\n<p>The NCNMLG communication committee is using forms of electronic communication to create online communities for sharing information, personal messages and other content. We are trying to diversify the ways we communicate through social media\u2019s Facebook, Linked-in and Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Facebook &#8211; Our Facebook account was created a few years ago. Shannon took over responsibility for it in July 2012. We started with 23 likes and have grown to 64. We are asking for all members to get involved and post about emerging trends, ideas, articles, events.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Linked in \u2013 Linked-in was created in 2009. Sandee Brekke took it over in late summer and brought the connections from 14 to 64. This is a place where members can have discussions on topics within the field and engage within your professional network.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Twitter &#8211; It instantly connects you to what is important to you. It allows us to post information quickly to members. Shannon started a new account in early October and we already have 11 followers!<\/p>\n<p>Post:<br \/>\n-@ a conference<br \/>\n-attend an informative event<br \/>\n-stumble across valuable information<br \/>\n-if you find something interesting to tell the group<\/p>\n<p>Please view the link below for all NCNMLG social media accounts and follow, connect and like us today!<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/ncnmlgmeetingnov2012socialmedia.weebly.com\/<\/p>\n<p>5.
