Are you new to the government social media profession? Have you been in this career and looking for new ways to connect with your fellow peers? No matter your situation, we’re happy to have you in this community! Getting involved and connecting with each other can be extremely useful to solve problems and celebrate wins, together. Here are a few ways you can get involved with your fellow socialgov support system today:

GSM network & GSMChat

Best communicate with the public you serve & get connected with your support network of peers by becoming a part of the free Government Social Media network — only available to full/part-time employees of government or educational institutions. You’ll easily collaborate on socialgov's most important issues, find organized, topic-specific conversations, share content and easily connect with your peers. Here are some topics you’ll find:

• Access to social network contacts
• Employment resources
• Bi-weekly Government Social Media Chats (our next chat is happening this Thursday, July 7!)
• A newsfeed with questions, helpful answers & conversations with fellow socialgovs just like you

GSM professional association 

Oftentimes, working in government social media can feel like you’re on an island, facing challenges — and celebrating wins — alone. Within the Government Social Media professional association, members find a community that best understands this difficult position, and we’d love to see you in the group! 

We reduced yearly membership prices to only $79/year where you’ll get access to member-only special webinars including our monthly SocialGov Roundup and training from special guests. You’ll also be able to ask questions, communicate with your elected Membership Council, and much, much more.

Community Facebook group

If you’re not already one of the thousands of members in our GSM Community Facebook group, make sure to join now! Every day, members are asking questions, sharing thoughtful answers and helping each other troubleshoot and celebrate wins. Just answer a few quick questions, and then get connected with your peers!
