Associate Professor Michael Rees (Bond University), who chairs the chapter’s executive committee, said the committee is particularly keen to hear from people in the business community who want to know more about how social media can work for their businesses.

In fact, the motto of Social Media Club is ‘If you get it, share it’.”
