As the year winds down and the holidays are approaching, our Board of Directors begins planning ahead for 2018. Every group is run by great leadership, and our group is run by a Board of Directors that is 100% volunteer-based and dedicated to producing great panels, networking events, workshops, and happy hours for our members.Each year, we have an elections process where our members nominate themselves or others to join the Board of Directors for the upcoming year. If you have enjoyed coming to our events and looking to get involved with our organization on a deeper level, this is your chance! We are currently seeking new and returning board members to help serve our Los Angeles Chapter.Here are some examples of our committees that you can be involved with and help shape in 2018:

• Operations
• Programming
• Communication
• Membership
• Sponsorship
• Creative Design

You can review all the roles hereAny community member in good standing may apply, but we prefer that the candidate is currently registered as a paid member of Social Media Club. However, it is not a requirement as long as that person joins after the election.Why join the Board of Directors? There are many perks to being part of the Board, but it is the experience that looks good on the resume, honing your skills in various areas, and also learning management skills. Many current and past Board members have noted that their involvement has helped them in their careers.If you have any specific questions, you can reach out to me directly at socialmediaclubla@gmail.com. Members of our current Board of Directors will be happy to help answer any questions you may have.Have a great Thanksgiving and see you soon at our next event!Thank you,Lindsay MauchChapter President, Social Media Club Los Angeles
