[Lnc-business] FB Posts

[Whitney Bilyeu]

My issues are with the (perceived) 'authority' that volunteers have over
our messaging on FB. Also, I don't care to burden staff members with a task
that is not necessarily their specialty.

I value the contributions and the creativity of the volunteers who put that
material out, and I believe they do it better than our limited staff could
do. However, I do not agree that volunteers should have the final say when
it comes messages that we LNC members are on the hook for.

The motion presented today was too restrictive, and oddly, at the same time
a little ambiguous. It could have put our entire social media presence on
hold. I am also concerned about the risk of losing those volunteers as a
result of such an action.

Yes, we need an intervention, and a temporary policy, along with a steering
committee, could be the answer. But, we could have just brought our social
media action to a screeching halt, and that is not what we really want.

How about establishing a policy that includes staff or LNC members in
posting approval, and holds the APRC more accountable, as well?

I want to see a policy that establishes/clarifies the authority of the FB
admins, moderators, and posters (who are not staff members). I also would
like to establish specific guidelines for what is put out...in order to
avoid these kinds of pitfalls and distractions in the future. Ideally, we
won't put anything out there that causes people to resign their posts, or
cease donations.
