Social Media Club Orange County

Volunteers

The Social Media Club Los Angeles is looking for help shaping the future of social media in California. We have identified four roles that we needed support filling. These four people form the leadership team of the Los Angeles group. If you'd be interested in helping one of them, please send an email to Jackie Peters at jackie at heavybagmedia dot com. And your input on these roles is welcome--as with all the Social Media Club Wiki pages, this one is editable too (the password is above, feel free to add your comments or suggestions below).
