IAPRI Announces a new Project Working Group to Develop a Media Strategy
IAPRI has relatively little social media presence currently, with a Twitter account and a LinkedIn account which are really mostly ineffective and rarely used. The Board of Directors knows the importance of IAPRI supporting and maintaining the networking among the researchers and educators who are our members. Social media is of critical importance, especially for the younger and upcoming generation of members. So we have established a new Working Group.


 


Social Media Strategic Development



Renee Wever from Linkoping University in Sweden and Laszlo Horvath from Virginia Tech in the US have agreed to Co-Chair this WG. 

 

Now we are looking for researchers and educators across our member institutions to form a Working Group to develop a media strategy. Initially, the committee itself would be the source of content. Hopefully, other members would add content as the program becomes a part of everyday IAPRI activities. 

It won’t be until after the start of next year to begin the process.  We have the member survey finishing up this month and we believe it will provide some very good input on what people want from IAPRI and the WG will need to determine how social media can meet some of those desires.

 If you are interested in participating in this activity, you can sign up for the working group by clicking the Link to sign up for the Social Media WG

Also, please let me know at: sg@iapri.org if you know of other members of IAPRI who should be part of the committee, please pass on those names.
