Announcing the 2010-2011 SMC-DC Leadership Team

First, we want to thank everyone who applied for our leadership team this year. We were thrilled with the number of applications and it really warmed our hearts to see so many enthusiastic and eager people ready to volunteer their time for Social Media Club. Many are new to the organization, and many are old friends. We have a great mix and expect to see lots of changes (for the better) to our events and processes.

Congratulations to our new team. We’re very jazzed to make SMC-DC even better this year!

Quick tidbits:

• We’re officially announcing our team now – so check it out below. You can follow all of the team members on Twitter at: http://twitter.com/swegl/smc-dc-leadership
• We hope you will be joining us for our happy hour this Wednesday at Clyde’s to meet our team. #smcdcaughh
• Don’t forget to buy a ticket (or become a SPONSOR) to Citizen Gulf next week as well – we need your support!
• Also – you may have seen that we were approved by Social Media Club Nationals as an open community chapter. Become a professional member today, and help us reach the status of “official chapter”. We need 10 members – and if we can make it happen soon – we may enjoy the prestige of becoming the FIRST OFFICIAL CHAPTER. Read more about official chapters here. In fact, if you become one of our paid members, we will feature you on our blog!

Stay tuned for announcements in early September as we kick off the 2010-2011 year.
