Convention is a great time to engage with your division members in person and online. Remember to use the APA Community starting now to share your division news surrounding convention. Below are several things to keep in mind as you look to engage:
- Announce - Make sure to use other division communications (Listservs, newsletters, etc.) to point members to this online community. Let your members know now that your APA Community group will be the best place to find convention information.
- The App - Don’t forget to carry the APA Community around with you! Remind your members that they can access the community via the app or on a desktop/laptop. The free app can be downloaded from the Apple app storeopens in new window or Google Playopens in new window.
- Notification Settings - Click on your profile picture in the upper right corner to see the “My Settings” arrow. Here you can find your way to the notification settings. Make sure you turn on notifications for your division group to stay informed.
- Forums - Once logged into the APA Community, go to your Division Groups. Next to “Live Feed” there is “Forums.” Click on “New discussion” and you are on your way to a new forum. This is a great space to keep all information and discussion in one place for your members. Remember when naming the forum to make sure it is plainly about your event to create no confusion with another event or topic.
