A special thanks goes out to our latest sponsors, 103.1 Jack FM and Ocean 98.5.
We are excited to partner with these two prominent radio stations to bring our events to a wider audience, and grow the active Social Media Club community in Victoria.
Some Great Sponsors!
A special thanks goes to Mike Simister of Domino’s Pizza – Quadra for donating pizza for our last two meetings! The pizza itself was second only to your generosity!
This month, Boulevard Magazine will be giving away a copy of their brand new Boulevard Design Home Annual (which, by the way, would make a fabulous Christmas present). You must be at the December meeting to win!
Thanks to our latest sponsors for their support!
If you are interested in supporting Social Media Club, please contact us. Please remember to RSVP for the December 20th meeting!
New Leadership Team
The Team
While the new legal structure requires use of terms like President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, this won’t change the fact that Social Media Club in Victoria is very much about shared leadership. This team approach has worked very well, and will continue to serve our community best.
We are especially pleased to welcome Sean, Teresa and Jaryd to the new team!
- Paul Holmes - President/Promotions Director (@tpholmes)
- Janis La Couvée - Vice-President/Membership Director (@lacouvee)
- Cindy Stephenson - 2nd Vice-President/Programming Director (@cjstephenson)
- Chris Burdge - Secretary/Sponsorship Director (@b_west)
- Sean Dhillon - Treasurer (@i_lend_money)
- Teresa Sims - Production/Volunteer Director (@teresasims)
- Jaryd Zinkewich - SMCEDU/University Liaison (@jzinkewich)
A special thanks to past leadership team volunteers, Jodie Gastel and Catherine Novak for all their hard work in building our organization.
Facebook Transition
We have switched from a Facebook group to a Facebook page, just like most of the rest of the world.
Please go to our new page, and click on “Like”.
Groups are still a great Facebook feature, especially for “private” groups. But for promoting Social Media Club, and most other “public” uses of Facebook, a page is far superior.
Social Media Camp, October 3rd
Victoria’s first Social Media Camp is coming on October 3rd, 2010.
We have already confirmed great speakers, such as Scott Stratten (@unmarketing), Dave Olsen (@daveohoots) from HootSuite, and Clayton Stark (@ClaytonStark) from Flock.
Leadership team members Chris Burdge and myself are organizing this event at the Victoria Conference Centre. We hope lots of locals, and lots of people from elsewhere will attend!
The first 100 registrants receive a signed copy of Scott Stratten’s new book, “UnMarketing: Stop Marketing. Start Engaging.”
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first “Social Media Camp” held in Canada. We are still accepting speaker applications.
