Time to get out and vote! We have provided bio, info, twitter handles, and LinkedIn profiles for Madison SMC members to research each nominee before voting. Members are defined as one of the 566 people on our current mailing list as of Friday May 4, at Midnight. Some of the offices, you may note, are uncontested. There will be space for write in candidates for all offices except for president. As you may note in a prior post, the presidential nominees must have already been on the board to pursue the president position.
Look for your email that gives members the link to vote. This will be a unique link to each member. If anyone else uses your link, there vote will override the prior vote. Read the rest of this entry »

Compliments of our Intern team of Sasha, Adam, kevin, Colleen and Xi
We are all herders.
I have a beautiful Samoyed named Birdie [Please, spare your jokes about the name]. If this was Siberia circa 1800 Birdie would be busy pulling sleds for her explorer master, keeping him warm during bedtime and herding reindeer all day long.
Fridtjof Nansen, a famous polar explorer, took the role of the Samoyed to a whole new level. Social history explains how Nansen fed his weaker dogs to the stronger ones as he plunged down the treacherous trails of the expedition. As you may imagine, few dogs remained as he arrived at his destination.
As we chart new territory in the social media landscape we have all done our share of herding. Herding people to our tweets. Herding people to like our FB post. Herding people to join our social media club. Herding people to come to our events and post blog entries. Herding [AWESOME] sponsors to put us up for the night and give us free cupcakes and such. Herding enough interested parties to help us achieve the goal of becoming a national chapter. Herding interns to help us do the herding…
Thankfully, our expedition comes with appropriate shelter from the elements.

It’s an election year and Social Media Club of Madison wants to get in the game! We are applying to be a full chapter of Social Media Club. That means we have raised the necessary $1000 in funds and in professional membership fees to do so.
As part of the suggested Bylaws offered by the National Social Media Club, Social Media Club of Madison (MadisonSMC) must hold an election for a 2012 Board. In order to do so, we must have a call for nominations for the positions open. And this is it! Our official chapter application is now in the mail to the national Social Media Club leader Kristie Wells. Read the rest of this entry »

Opening the Highways to All Mankind
Its not every day that one of the big five automakers comes to Madison WI. Our friends over at Social Media Breakfast Madison have asked and been rewarded with the presence of Scott Monty, Ford’s Global Digital Multimedia Communications Director, coming to Madison on January 18, 2012 at the Monona Terrace. RSVP on Eventbrite – no walk-ins day of.
Sponsors
With the sponsorship of Ford, presenting sponsor Shoutlet, and new kid on the block Engaging Social helping out, the Madison social media professional community as well as business owners, and people who like a great presentation will be able to attend for free.
Additional supporting sponsors are Lands’ End Business Outfitters with a very cool canvas bag to house other donated SWAG items from local businesses. A regular contributor to SMB Madison is Suttle Straus who makes a mean decal for your car or business front door.
RSVP
Get in on the fun and education if you are an early riser. Unlike our Madison SMC events that happen at night, SMB Madison gets up at ungodly hours of the morning, supplies hot and steamy coffee and food for your belly.
They do require you to register for tickets for this event, but guess what, its free so humor them and RSVP at Eventbrite. This event will not allow seating for people who just show up at the door due to space limitations.
At the time of this writing, over 200 people have registered and a wait list has been started. We expect additional seats will be released in the next week so get your name on the list. Let’s make sure to show Scott Monty how Madison’s business community can fill a room!
If you have questions about the event you can email smbmad at gmail dot com. Or give them a shout out on Twitter @smbmad

MadSMC is at AJbombers on October 25th @ 6pm!
If you didn’t know, AJ Bombers is in Madison. What is AJ Bombers? Well some say it’s a cool burger joint with peanuts flying over your head and a very rustic atmosphere. If you watch the Travel Channel, you might have seen this Milwaukee based restaurant compete against Sobelman’s on Food Wars (which AJ Bombers was the valiant champion).
Well, believe it or not, AJ Bombers is now in Madison.
Located on 201 West Gorham st. in downtown Madison, WI, AJ Bombers is bringing the winning burger to a winning city. Hello – #WINNING!
Register to Attend “Let’s Get Bombed” – October 25, 2011!!
The owner – Joe Sorge – is very active in the social media world. Not only does he own 3 restaurants in Milwaukee and one in Madison, he also works with people like Chris Brogan on Kitchen Table Talks. And he gets social media, too.
Catch Joe on the show: To Check In or Not to Check In – Kitchen Table Talks with Joe Sorge, Chris Brogan, C.C. Chapman and M.C. Tyler Pyron.
