Managing the LinkedIn Group for the Chapter

As needed, the PR Manager monitors requests to join the chapter's LinkedIn group and adds those users who are confirmed members of STC. Use the steps below when handling requests to join the LinkedIn group. (Note: You will need to have permissions to manage the LinkedIn group.)

1. Log in to LinkedIn. Link: http://www.linkedin.com/
2. Under the Groups section, click the link for STC Silicon Valley Chapter (STC-SVC).
3. Click the Manage tab.
4. Under the Manage Group section, click the Requests to Join link.
5. Go to the STC website; under the Members tab select Member Services | Member Directory. Link: http://www.stc.org/
6. Log in to the STC website.
7. Perform a search on the requester's name. If the requester's name is not in the directory, use LinkedIn to send a message to the requester, asking for her or his STC membership number (Member ID).
8. If the requester is not an STC member, explain that the LinkedIn group is only for STC members; click the Decline button.
