Make all the staff that will post to your Facebook page administrators 
on that page. Then they can post to your page themselves without sending 
it to the "official" poster. Then each administrator would be 
responsible for posting items that relate to and are of interest to 
their respective departments. Treat it as PR. If a department doesn't 
post, then they are missing out on potential PR.

I need to find an efficient way to gather posts from each department - PR /Marketing, Membership/Development, Volunteers and Collections.  Our staff can be very busy and Facebook posts may seem insignificant at times, but I feel frequent postings are important to engage our over 1000 "likes".  I know the larger historical societies often have a staff member that is assigned to write daily posts, but I'm sure they still use a system to get information from various departments - that staff member can't know it all.
