WALA Needs You, Art Techies!

New WALA Web and Social Media Committee

Over the last two years, WALA has made a concerted effort to enter the 21st Century by developing communication platforms and utilizing the new technologies to keep you better informed about all things WALA. In the last year alone, we have developed this blog, refreshed our website, and increased our presence on several social media platforms, including Twitter and Facebook. In 2011, we want to take it even further by creating the first WALA Web and Social Media Committee. It is our hope that the committee will:

• develop exciting new video content and utilize video sharing platforms that allows WALA to further highlight the amazing talents and provocative thinkers of our community;
• advance our blog to grow into the most dynamic and useful art and law blog in the country (or at least our community!) by recruiting fresh new voices and mining the learned experience of more sage ones on matters pertaining to censorship, net neutrality, entertainment law, creative entrepreneurship, and other arts community concerns;
• continue to make the necessary updates, alterations, and improvements on our website, www.thewala.org, and furthering our brand in the public consciousness; and,
• further our brand awareness in the arts and legal communities and in the public consciousness to increase artists access to services and public support of our mission.
  

A new volunteer social media team will increase our capacity to better serve WALA's members, strengthen our ability to keep you better informed about WALA and the creative community it serves, and let the world know a little bit more about the phenomenal talents and innovative thinkers we have in the Greater Washington arts community. If you are interested in joining the WALA Web and Social Media Committee, please email director@thewala.org with the phrase "WALA Social Media Committee" in the subject line. Thank you in advance for your interest!
