Branches and social media
We encourage branches and chapters to explore social media as a means of communicating with both members and potential members at a local level. The various channels can be used to promote branch activities, network with other members and discuss locally relevant topics.
We have therefore developed a set of guidelines (PDF 1MB) for branches to explain how and why we are using social media, and how branches and chapters can get involved.
Beyond third-party media
This area is developing, and we continuously monitor new channels to see if they could work for us.
Beyond these third-party channels, STEP also has the STEP Forum - a member-only discussion space and the STEP Blog – where members can comment on regular posts from senior members and staff.
