Time: 2:00 PM EST (GMT -5)
Where: Via Adobe Connect
How do you go about choosing a digital solution to run or upgrade your chapter’s website, mailing lists, event board, and internal communications? What free options are available to save and archive all of the chapter’s digital information and historical records?
There are free options to easily manage a community’s digital records, websites, and mailing lists. New options also allow for multiple users to share, collaborate, edit, and archive information. Upgrading to these new services helps control access when new leaders change in order to keep operations running smoothly.

What: Expose Yourself Online Part 2: Social Media—Seven Social Media Outlets!?, by Viqui Dill
When: Thursday, 14 November

How much or how little you plan to communicate depends on how many volunteers you have, their communication skills and preferences, and the preferences of your members. Keep in mind that any communication is better than none, that your community members understand that we are staffed by volunteers, and that we have successful communities all across the spectrum.
This is a basic social media plan, based on a community with limited super powers. Since your community will have a different set of super powers and different kryptonite, your basic plan will be your own. Use these as a sample and then share your story with us.
