Now that each SC has a page… How can we keep these current? Incorporate relevant news/announcements for each group How can we “synchronize” with SC-managed sites? Use LifeRay portlets for Social Network and RSS sources

Why Social Networks? Each one has large user communities Each one has mature mobile apps Users can choose to “Follow”, “Like”, “Join” your SC, and then the feeds are automatic Social Media Management tools support “Post Once, Repeat Everywhere” Reaching out to new audiences can help to build interest, professional associations, and even participation
