Growth & Communications Update
The Growth and Communications committee is focused on establishing an effective communications system throughout the Southwest district and promoting growth throughout the district. As a committee, we are working to polish and refine our social media outreach by creating an organized posting schedule, in order for all of our social media platforms (twitter, snapchat, instagram, etc) to relay important information to members on a regular basis. This entails one committee member to post on all platforms on their day. We have begun laying out posting events, such as Key Club week and Major Emphasis months. In addition to the social media outreach, the southwest has a growth goal of 9.4%. We want to promote a Bring A Friend to Key Club campaign through social media to foster growth within clubs and membership retention.
