Social Media Club Birmingham Needs Volunteers Like You
The Social Media Club Birmingham Area needs your help in shaping the
future of social media in Birmingham. We have identified several roles
that members need to step up and take control of. Please volunteer to
be an important part of the leadership team of the Birmingham group.
None of these positions will take much of your time but if you need
you may split responsibilities with a friend.

Select one primary position and one alternate position and email your
choice to scotts...@gmail.com. I will contact you soon to schedule
a short organizational meeting.
