Technology & SCAs[Yes, we can be friends.]

Why Tech•Efficiency•Collaboration•Communication•Outreach•etc.

Examples of SCA Tech•Website (same provider as ASCA:

Timberlake so consider cost vs. benefits)•Facebook•Twitter•ASCA Scene•Webinars (Adobe Connect)

Examples of SCA Tech•GoToMeeting (when in doubt can revert

to conference call)•Old fashioned mass email (connecting

with OSPI)•Online Journal•Survey Monkey•Dropbox

Lessons Learned•Pace matters. Don’t sprint and tire out.

Find a pace that works for you and go for that; build from that

•Your virtual face/reputation is just as important as your “real” one

Lessons Learned•Establish a point person for the technology

used▫Competency & Passion▫Multiple people: have structure in place for

actions and decision-making (even mundane site updating)

•Use the tech as a marketing/communication tool

•Create/generate momentum for events & information▫Upcoming conference (I Pavlov)

Lessons Learned•Keep SCA goals (i.e. ends policies, goals,

action items, etc.) in mind at all times. Don’t delegate technology to the sidelines as something to get around to. How can technology assist and further your association’s goals?
