The San Francisco-based Social Media Club announced Wednesday that 42 industry leaders will form an interim board of directors, MarketWatch reported.
The new media and advocacy organisation aims to promote “media literacy; support of industry standards efforts such as Creative Commons licensing, Microformats, Data Portability and OpenID; discussion and promotion of ethical behaviour; and sharing our knowledge among our members and the industry community at large,” said Chris Heuer, founder of the SMC and partner at the Conversation Group.
The interim board will aim to chart several important “organisational and strategic deliverables, including development of membership goals, acceleration of local chapter development, increase in adoption of industry standards and implementation of a new legal structure to enhance future growth,” according to the Business Wire report, posted by MarketWatch.
The SMC has almost 200 paying members and more than 500 open members, with corporate members including Business Wire and SHIFT Communications, SMC President and Co-Founder Kristie Wells told Business Wire.
The board will also look to further research, as well as strengthen relationships with organisations in related fields, such as the Society for New Communications Research, Business Wire reported.
