In 2009, Arden Schuman convinced then IMPACT Chicago
Director Martha Thompson of the importance of IMPACT Chicago having a presence
on Facebook and Twitter. Not long after, Arden said, “Let’s do a blog.”
Arden has brought her technical savvy and intelligent encouragement to the
IMPACT Chicago social media process. She does not micro-manage the content, but
keeps things on track by pointing out types of posts, blogs, and blasts that
bring more viewers, friends, readers. Once something is ready for publication
or posting, she makes sure it gets to the public.
Although Martha has stepped down as Director of IMPACT
Chicago (after 25 years of volunteer service), she continues to coordinate the
social media content as well as teach IMPACT. She says: “Working on social media has given
me another way to educate the public about violence and self-defense.” Leslie
Eto has recently taken on editing the blogs and AC Racette has been a regular
contributor through writing blogs and doing interviews with volunteers and
graduates.
If you want to contribute a blog, posts to facebook, or a
tweet, let Jennifer, Volunteer Coordinator, know. We look forward to hearing
from you!
