This is a summary of daily/routine and special tasks with a sample of what to expect. These tasks are further documented at any links below (WIP)
Events
More info here: Procedure_for_when_to_publicize_an_event
- When calendar events are created by members, create social media events for those that are appropriate. Most member created events like events for interest groups are sent out in weekly updates by the President and are not mirrored on social media, however.
- When calendar events are created by the President or other Board members for official events such as Tuesday night events, coordinate with whoever is helping to create the event's summary and promotional content. When a presenter is not directly involved in this process, create a basic but informative summary and basic promotional images for social media. Push official events to social media.
- Leverage social media with multimedia content when available such as pics and videos after events have concluded.
- Be on the lookout for additional multimedia opportunities for promotional use even when there is not an event.
- Be alert to anyone who has requested or prefers not to be filmed/photographed. Remember that patrons are not customers, however, and remind those who are camera shy that it is ultimately their responsibility to stay out of the way of being filmed. This can be relayed politely and professionally but generally isn't a problem for us.
