Having recently moved to LA, joining the SMCLA Board was a fabulous way to meet like-minded people and get a good view of the professional landscape. Through the relationships that I have cultivated, I have been able to secure additional work and grow as a digital marketer. I highly recommend any digital pro to interact and become an active part of SMCLA."Nick Labran, Venues“Being on the Board has exposed me to some wonderful professional people. The organization delivers great information to the business community and I love being a part of that!”Lindsay Tredent, Chapter Secretary“I have really enjoyed being on the board of Social Media Club Los Angeles for 2014. The monthly programming and speakers are top notch and I’ve enjoyed volunteering with some great business professionals. As a self-employed business owner, it’s been great to get more involved in the community and have the opportunity to impact and educate more people around social media and best practices.”Any questions can be directed to the chapter president, Madeline Wright, at losangeles@socialmediaclub.org.
