Hi everyone,

I would be interested in hearing responses to Melinda McCrary's social media policy question as well. I am working on a disaster plan for an institution and I am advising that the site create a social media policy for their staff, volunteers, and Board members to control the "message" that is sent during a disaster. I've never seen this addressed in any disaster plans or materials I have researched. Does anyone have such a policy - or thoughts on creating such a policy?  Thanks all!

Hi Listers--

Does anyone have a social media policy for a small museum they are willing to share?

I am happy to take the response off list on my personal email at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Thank you!
