NCECA- Call for Social Media Moderators

To best meet the needs of the many social media services that encourage interactive member communication, NCECA will select up to three currently active members to act as moderators of its various social media services.  The selected members will receive a one year extension on their current membership and, in some cases, a conference press pass.  Social media moderators shall report to the Communications Director.

Call closes on February 3rd, 2014.  The chosen members will be informed by February 20th, their term will begin March 1, and they shall serve through the end of the following year’s conference.

The purpose of these conferences will be to report on their activities as moderators, and collaborate on further refinement of the moderator’s role and developing strategies that advance NCECA’s capacity for meaningful communication and engagement through each social media platform.  All moderators should also maintain a high level of professionalism appropriate to NCECA’s voice and brand as a leader in issues central to and surrounding ceramic arts and education.  Additionally, each platform has some specific expectations:
