5 Awesome Association Facebook Pages

About a month ago, Maddie shared this post about awesome B2B Facebook Pages with me and suggested I do a similar post about association Facebook Pages. So, without further ado, I give you these 5 awesome association Facebook Pages:

  1. American Dietetic Association–I especially like their “tip of the day” posts–a great way to drive traffic back to their website.
  2. American Wind Energy Association–I especially like the video tab and Take Action tabs. Advocacy people take note: the Take Action tab is, I believe, Capwiz’s Facebook application. If you don’t have money to spend on custom tabs, don’t despair–equally or even more effective are posts linking back to your org’s advocacy calls-to-action. Custom tabs look snazzy but posts are what push out to your fans on a daily basis.
  3. American Society of Radiologic Technologists–I love the custom welcome tab. In case you don’t already know this, Facebook allows you to set a default landing tab under “Edit Page”>”Default Landing Tab.”
  4. American Speech-Language-Hearing Association–Ok, yes, this is the page I admin so I admit I’m biased, but I love how active the Discussions tab is and also the Career Center tab. Note: that custom tab is a Boxwood application.
  5. AARP–if you want to see a good example of “engagement” on Facebook by an association, check out AARP’s posts. I also like the “AARP in Your State” tab which links to their State association’s Facebook Pages.

I’m sure I missed plenty of other great association Facebook Pages–please share good ones you’ve come across in the comments.

Christopher--absolutely. Here's just one link with even more compelling info about why associations with older members absolutely are missing out if they think that because their main demographic is "older" they don't have to embrace social media:

And even if older members don't currently use social media, maybe that's something they're looking to their professional association for help with. Check out AARPs website--they have a whole section about social media that includes tips, how-tos, etc.

Hey Maggie -

I thought this was interesting.

1. The American Association of Retired Persons... AARP HAS a Facebook page.
2. And, it HAS nearly 30,000 fans.

Perhaps those leading their associations who claim their members are older don't use social networks should think twice.

Great examples - Thanks for sharing!
