This document discusses why associations should have a social media presence and how to effectively use social media professionally. It notes that people now engage through social media rather than traditional methods, so associations must connect where people interact online. The document also recommends that associations develop social media policies and choose tools their members use most, like Facebook, blogs, YouTube and Twitter. It emphasizes consistency, timely responses and leveraging existing online communities to build an association's online network.
