Hey SMCDSM, how you been? Well... we've been busy behind the scenes planning upcoming events and getting our professional chapter membership secured!

To give you an update on our progress, we are very near to reaching our minimum financial requirement in order to complete the process of becoming an official chapter. Once that is in place, we will be able to send out more regular communications to the large group via email. For now, we can stick to the basics like, you know, Facebook and Twitter, but we're all ready to complete this critical step.

If you haven't done so already, be sure to sign up for your Social Media Club Des Moines membership today! There are several membership options you may want to consider if there are others in your organization who may be interested in joining as well. Reach out to Membership Director, Katie Bradshaw, if you have questions about which type of membership is right for you.

If you've been interested in getting involved with SMCDSM, guess what! We're looking for volunteers to form various committees. We have lots of opportunities to get involved: helping with social media posting and chapter communications, programming and promoting chapter events and activities, helping our awesome sponsors get value for their support, and various other duties which may arise as our club continues to grow. We appreciate the support you have given and hope to continue to improve and provide the best for you. But part of that comes with active involvement from our community.

Contact any board member to let them know what you're interested in helping or participating with and we'll be sure the appropriate team leader contacts you. Or if you plan on attending any upcoming chapter events, chat us up and let us know what ideas you have! We'd love to hear from you.

Hope to see you all on November 7th at Spindustry Digital for The Future of the Marketing Agency
