6. 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

7. 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
