Group Promotion Volunteers
It would be ideal to have at least two volunteers in each group who are willing to take on the work of promoting the group, as the work ranges from very regular social media contact to occasional PR events. Of course the work can be taken on by volunteers doing other work for the group, such as moderating! The specs below describe the range of promotional skills and work that would be great to have in each group.

Apart from working with the group moderating team, there are national opportunities to share experiences, ask questions and get support.
This wiki portal Publicity provides relevant information for a whole range of promotion ideas.
