The Social Media Club announced today it’s newly formed interim Board of Directors. The board boasts a roster of highly-regarded industry leaders; a truly amazing group of people that I am honored to be a part of.
As connected as we all are, it’s sometimes a challenge to get organized amidst all of the clutter. I think it’s vital at this juncture to have a central support network for those of us involved in Social Media to share resources and ideas, build community and contribute to establishing best practices and standards in the area. The Social Media Club is a part of this support network, alongside other organizations and standards efforts including Creative Commons, Microformats, Data Portability, OpenID, the Society for New Communications Research (SNCR), the International Association for Business Communicators (IABC) and many others.
The new interim board has been charted to address several key organizational and strategic deliverables, including development of membership goals, acceleration of local chapter development, increase in adoption of industry standards and implementation of a new legal structure to enhance future growth.
The newly named/appointed members of the interim board are leading social media analysts, bloggers and business leaders, and are as follows:
