Attention GMA Members: New Features on LinkedIn
Great news Government Marketing Association members!
Just as we predicted, LinkedIn has added new functionality to groups. As our group approaches the 100 member mark (96 and counting), we will be able to use these new features to coalesce our group into a wonderful government marketing resource for all of you.
Now that a group home page, email digests and discussion forums will be available to us through LinkedIn, I wanted to reach out to you to get your ideas and suggestions on what you hope to get out of Government Marketing Association membership and what you would like to contribute. Though I considered sending around a survey on this, I did not want to limit your options to my own pre-dispositions, I think that this group can provide more value to you if it is member-driven.
So please write back to me or call to share with us what you would like to get out of your Government Marketing Association group.
Some thought-starters…
What marketing challenges keep you up at night? or, How have you solved them?What resources do you rely on? or, What resources do you offer?Which networking groups address your needs? or, Which ones waste your time?What is the best idea you’ve heard this year? or, What is your best idea this year?Which campaigns have performed best for you? or, Which ones do you wish you had avoided?What are your best research sources? or, What kind of research is missing?What questions do you have about marketing technologies? or, What do you know about marketing technologies?Again these are just a few ideas…this is your group…so tell me what you want!
