I think what is usually done in chapters all over that have a facebook presence is just that the facebook page and the mailing list are complementary, but not identical. The mailing list is still the primary source of official chapter information. But someone maintains the facebook page and ensures that major announcements go there as well. I dont personally think its desirable to re-post messages individuals leave on our facebook page to the mailing list because it undermines their choice in how to engage, and may even defeat the purpose of creating a new channel for engagement. Also, while you could pull messages from Facebook and put them on the mailing list, you wouldn't be able to effectively go the other way when non-Facebook users want to reply. The best thing to do is make sure everyone who finds our facebook page is made aware of the mailing list (probably through a pinned post and some individual invitation through conversation) and is encouraged to join. These two streams would not be in competition eith each other though. They would just be complementary channels to help engage more people where they are. A great example of this is NABS. They have a strong facebook presence, and yet still have an incredibly active and vibrant mailing list which is obviously their primary channel. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Jan 18, 2022, 11:17 Timothy Elder <<a href="mailto:telder@trelegal.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">telder@trelegal.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">We talked at our last meeting about ideas for recruiting people to our chapter. Tim advised that personal invites are often the most effective way to bring in totally new members, but I was thinking today about increasing interest and participation
of existing members. I have a thought. What do we think about creating a facebook page for our chapter? Other NFBC chapters seem to have done this. We could use it to share information about upcoming meetings and events, spur conversation, signal boost information
from the state affiliate or from national, and reach each member's own social network in a new way. <u></u><u></u></p>
