Hi all, 
I'm sure the email list will continue to exist as a method of communication and announcements, and we will all be able to be a part of it. The Facebook group will further enhance the community aspect of it for those who wish to join it.

I hope I am not too out of the tech game, but I don’t use Facebook, and I am assuming other students don’t use Facebook either. I think we should start the Facebook group, as that is a great way to reach more people with our positive message, but think everyone should still have the option of emailing. This is just my position on the matter and something to keep in mind.

NABS is always seeking alternative methods of serving as a resource to our students and providing outlets that ensure our members are building a strong and vast network.

Thank you for bringing this initiative to our attention; and we certainly look forward to building our organization even further through the world of Facebook!

That can be debated upon by the board and or members as a whole. Personally, I think that having a closed group would be best to minimize the chances of receiving spam and or unwanted messages from people that have no desire to join.

For example, if a student has a profile that is public, someone that is not a student will look in the group and see the members of the group, and also, could stalk someone. I think that the Facebook group is a good idea, but IF the students hide their information on their Facebook profiles, then it will be a safer group. And also, how would the admins know that a student is trying to join the group?

Actually, if it’s at all associated with outreach or branding, which any form of social media is, then board approval is probably necessary. The board may also want to be the admins if this is approved. I would strongly suggest asking them before immediately jumping to do this. Lots of energy and innovation are good but it’s generally important to ensure proper communication first. I would know—I’m bad at it.
