For those members who are out there in the 2.0 world making connections and having discussions with your colleagues, don't forget to join any SLA groups that are available for all!
Most SLA Units (chapters and divisions) have created special groups online. SLA HQ has also created association-level groups on Facebook and LinkedIn, so that you can expand your network beyond your chapter or division!

If you haven't yet jumped in to social media and web 2.0, now is the perfect time to start! SLA's 23 Things is designed to train you and get you more comfortable with operating in these online environments!
The Environment and Resource Management Division (ERMD) has a Facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7573131883

Thanks, Robert!
I should also note that if you simply search SLA in the "groups" section you can see all of the available SLA unit groups on facebook. Your division or chapter has probably set one up already, but if one doesn't exist, its very easy to set one up on your own!
Go boldly forward and get one started for your unit!
