EVERYONE is a brand

ambassador.It doesn’t matter what your role is - if you are a chapter leader - you serve as a brand ambassador for your chapter,

MSSHRM and SHRM.

















Traditional Channels

Newsletters are tried-and-true when it comes to information and, in many ways, could be considered predecessors to blogs. Newsletters also serve to provide you with a starting point for your content. If it is in your newsletter - it should be online, too.

















Traditional ChannelsMeetings are more than for networking. The person

in charge of publicity/PR/Social Media for your chapter can use these events to gather information, interview members about what is going on in the

workplace, take pictures and much more.

Don’t lose out on a great opportunity to spread the word.

















Traditional Channels

Conferences and Seminars are our way of networking with others but also learning at the same

time. Don’t shy away from technology and from social media during these events. Instead, use them

to enhance the experience.

















Social Channels

Does your chapter have an ACTIVE website? The key word here is active. Websites must be engaging in order to provide enough of a reason for a person

to return to the site.

















Social Channels

Does your chapter have a Facebook PAGE. While groups are good for information sharing, Pages

provides a landing page for newcomers who are not yet affiliated with a chapter. Again, Groups are not

bad and have a great purpose but not for social recruitment of membership.

















Social ChannelsDoes your chapter have a Twitter Account? While many still shy from the idea of Twitter, it is not a fad and can serve as another outlet for your content. The great thing is - Twitter can be linked to your

Facebook Page. This allows you to post to FB and it automatically post to Twitter!

















Social Channels

Does your chapter have a Pinterest Account? If you take pictures of chapter events, post those pictures to Pinterest. People like visual and, to use an old

phrase, “a picture says a thousand words.”
