In attendance were: Deborah Kendrick, Lisa Hall, Dale Barta, Paul Dressell, Jessie McDaniel and Christopher Sabine. Also in attendance was Nickie Pearl, who handles all social media presence for the NFB of Greater Louisville and the NFB OF Kentucky.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Christopher scheduled the meeting to discuss all aspects of the new Facebook page, including content, administration and set up. NFBGL was contacted specifically because of the high quality of the chapter’s social media presence. Nicky reported that she is in charge of the NFBGL Chapter Facebook page, the NFB of Kentucky Facebook page and the Louisville Chapter’s Twitter Feed. The page was created a number of years ago to respond to the rise in blind and sighted people using social media—particularly Facebook. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nickie reported that she is responsible for updating the page’s newsfeed and conducting other activities with the page, including fundraisers and sharing events such as Chapter meetings. She indicated that she does have some usable vision, though she primarily uses VoiceOver to create posts using the IPhone app.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The NFB of Greater Louisville also reportedly uses other information media, including a blog, Twitter feed and a talking information bulletin board similar to PTP to disseminate chapter information. The State Chapter also has a listserv. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Christopher, Nickie and Deborah also clarified the difference between a Facebook page an a group. A page is used to share information by an organization and is typically run by a few administrators, who post to the page. On the other hand, a group is a private discussion forum, where members or the general public can share posts and hold conversations and is similar to a listserv or message board. It was agreed that—like the Greater Louisville Chapter—the Cincinnati chapter will have a page. We agreed to continue using the listserv for private discussions within the group, as the listserv is more accessible to many of our members.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Deborah and Christopher discussed setting up a mailbox on PTP to share information about chapter meetings and other events. Deborah agreed to follow up with Janet Papin at CABVI concerning this.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Various other technical issues were discussed. It was agreed that the page will have two administrators: a blind Facebook user and a person with partial or total sight to provide assistance and recommendations with visual elements of the page, including photos and videos. Christopher agreed to introduce a motion at our next Chapter meeting on Saturday November 14.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jessie McDaniel expressed concerns that posts from visitors were moved to the left column of the page—away from the pages timeline. Christopher agreed to look into this and discuss with Jessie privately. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Chris<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
