Crowdsourcing: Your Key to Member Engagement Pt 1

I'm very excited to begin getting serious about a weekly post of key information that can be significant in helping fellow associations establish and sustain an effective Social Media Strategy.  I feel public social media sites, like Facebook, are not the long term solution.  It is very important associations start today to develop a strategy to launch a private social network, giving them total control of their online process for member engagement.

I am going to start this week with an 8-week video blog series on the biggest element of online member connection: Crowdsourcing. Each Monday morning, a new video blog post will appear from TomMorrison.tv. The power of TomMorrison.tv is that it comes from the view of an Association Executive just like you.
