On the 6th Day of Social Media, your SIG Leaders gave to you: SIX (LMA) SOCIAL SPACES…

[Note to self – never agree to write the post that follows the JibJab videos again…]

Truth be told, LMA was social long before social media was around. Chapter speaker series, the Listserv, local and regional networking events: all essential tools of the LMA community. So the move to social media was pretty easy.

And it shows. By our count, LMA – including International, Chapters, City Groups, and SIGs – has:

  • 44 groups on LinkedIn,
  • 14 Twitter feeds,
  • 13 Facebook pages, and
  • 5 YouTube channels.

So where do LMA members go to get social? Right here:

1.  LinkedIn

2. Twitter 

  • LMA International: @LMAintl 
    LMA is the universal voice of the legal marketing and business development profession.

3. Facebook

4. YouTube

5. LMA Connect (must be logged in to LMA for access)

  • Discussion Forums (Chapter Discussions, SIGs, Private Committees, Think Tank, Topical Discussions) 
  • Blogs and Events (International, Chapters, SIGs) 
  • File Library (Shared Files, Chapter Resources, Member Documents, Think Tank, Strategies Archive) 

6. Pinterest

Pinterest is a bit of an anomaly on this list, because in fact there are no official LMA boards on Pinterest. But we see a big opportunity, particularly for chapters and city groups, to use Pinterest to strengthen their communities, show off their talent, and more generally spread the word about the benefits and resources of LMA membership. For inspiration:

Amazing List

Lance, this is an amazing resource for LMA, not only for members but for management, as it allows us to see how we can be better connected in this always-connected world. There are so many possibilities with all of these tools. 


Great job!
