Staying Connected with AABANY
We have been urging you all to “Get Connected @ AABANY” and now that you have begun to take up the call, we invite you to stay connected. AABANY provides many ways to do so, beyond just our website and weekly e-mails. We know that no one likes getting pelted by e-mails so we are offering other options that you can use to find out what’s going on or receive periodic short reminders about upcoming events.
Over the past few months, you may have noticed AABANY’s increasing presence on various social media fronts. If you are already on Facebook, please log on to AABANY’s Facebook page and “like” us. If you already have a Twitter account, follow @aabany. If you are on LinkedIn, connect with AABANY there and join AABANY’s LinkedIn group. You can also view videos from various events on AABANY’s YouTube Channel.
If you would prefer not to receive any e-mail or status updates from us, that is perfectly fine. Just know that you can always go directly to our Weekly Announcements on the website, which is updated every Monday, to get the latest news and events. You can also visit the AABANY Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts directly if you are following us through those channels.
AABANY also has a blog which currently contains much of the same content that you already see on the Weekly Announcements but over time we hope to include other content that you might find interesting. We are developing ways for you to offer your feedback to the blog posts so that you can share your thought and ideas with us.
AABANY is doing lots of different and exciting things and we don’t want you to miss a beat. The Communications Committee is charged with keeping our various communication channels open and active, and if you would like to be involved with those efforts, let our Communications Committee co-chairs Will Wang and Will Ng know by e-mailing them at [email protected]. If you have any questions or suggestions, get in touch with them at that address, too.
