so many other options out there, we
wanted to give our members a chance to
explore the benefits of social media with
us. Our membership is an equal cross
section of ages from 20s to 50s so you
can imagine the difference in experience
level or comfort with the internet. We
are introducing social media to some of
our members for the first time. [At the
same time] our goal is to provide one
place our members and friends in the
industry can come to find all the latest in
industry news, design successes, and
chapter activities.
