Social Media Club of Cache Valley becomes a reality
New Club Teaches Media Networking
LOGAN, UT – The Social Media Club of Cache Valley is now up and running. Cache Valley residents now have the opportunity to obtain knowledge about social media and the future of technology. The Social Media Club is not only a local or national organization, but a global one as well and extends out to different locations and chapters.
Preston Parker, president of the Social Media Club of Cache Valley, said a Salt Lake chapter was formed in January 2009. A group including Parker who did not want to make the trip down every month decided to form a chapter that would be closer and more convenient. Parker started Cache Valley’s local chapter July of this year.
The goal of SMCCV is to teach about social media through inviting guest speakers or holding a panel discussion with individuals or experts on types of social media such as search engines or reputation management within businesses. The first meeting, held in August, had stations where members could begin to learn the basics of social media starting with Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and owning and editing your own blog.
Parker hopes the organization will become a success. “The goal of the organization is to help people become acquainted with social media – to help them to have access to others,” Parker said. Another goal Parker has for the club is to have a network of like minded individuals get together and talk like any other group.
The group holds meetings on the second Thursday of each month. The next meeting will be held on September 10, at 6:30 p.m., at Club New York located at 359 N. Main Street in Logan. The meeting will feature Loralee Choate, a blogger from Logan who was recently invited by the White House to voice her opinions on health care reform. She will offer blogging advice and will be open to questions and discussions.
Parker anticipates between 50 and 80 members to show up for the next meeting. He says the target market for social media and the club is not necessarily for students or faculty, but rather for anyone who would like to know more about social media.
