  38. Before you go there…… Before you go rushing off to open the club Facebook page or District page on LinkedIn STOP! • Important points • Collaborative effort you are setting the tone for your club/district not for you! • Determine the message you are trying to bring to the social media market • Understand the permissions, the access, the monitoring of the information being posted and distributed. Is it on message? Is it appropriate?

  39. Plan • This is not your personal home page • Effective pages for organizations provide value to the readers/visitors/future rotarians not just a sounding board of the members • The world will not stop because you activate your page in April rather than March and it will make the difference for result
