Hi all,

 

One of my medium term plans is to formalise a network of CC champions and volunteers. The latter will ideally come from schools and universities. To do so, I’ve been raising the idea of using Facebook, purely for the purposes of recruiting volunteers and pointing them to materials on the CCANZ email list and website.

 

It would also be very useful for promoting events.

 

Facebook is obviously not an ideal fit for us, though I feel that CCANZ needs to be able to speak to those people who do all their communicating (and  event-planning) there. Again, the key would be to keep our CCANZ site and list as the primary channels, and use Facebook as a recruitment tool.

 

I’m agnostic on this, though I can see both sides. Any thoughts either way from the community?

 

Best wishes,
Matt
