The Social Media Committee (SMC) was established as an Ad-Hoc Committee by the Department Commander in mid-2014, and as a full Committee by the Department Executive Committee at the 2016 Department Convention. The members are appointed by the Department Commander for a 1-year term.

 

  The Committee members should have a background in social media, multi-media presentations, journalism, photography, video production, entertainment, voice over work and radio.

 

  They are responsible for all Department social media outlets (e-newsletter, Facebook, X, Flickr, YouTube), developing social media campaigns for Department Committees and Chapters, assisting Chapters and individuals with setting up social media accounts, producing videos, brochures, etc. and for promulgating training seminars for all Chapters in Virginia so they may become part of the social media world.

 

           Not sure if you or your Chapter needs to be on social media? 

​

  A July 2020 summary of worldwide social media statistics show that there are 3.96 billion people utilizing social media worldwide - that is about 51% of the planet's population!

 

  Here are some statistics: 90.4% of Millennials, 77.5% of Generation X, and 48.2% of Baby Boomers are active social media users - and 91% of all users access social media via mobile devices.

​

  73% of marketers believe that social media is "somewhat effective" to "very effective" for their business....which means it WILL work for you.
