We now have a Facebook group, “BYU Management Society.” We already have 49 members and counting but we need you to join and invite your friends to join. This is a Facebook group for all BYU Management Society members and friends worldwide. (You do not need to be an alumnus of BYU or a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to belong but we do adhere to the standards of those organizations.)
Also, we have set up groups for individual chapters or interest areas, including:
- Asia (8 members; regional group including all chapters in Asia)
- Hispanic (21 members; this group has no geographic boundaries)
- Rancho Santa Margarita, California (13 members)
We encourage chapters everywhere to create a Facebook group for their chapter.
If you are not a member of Facebook, please sign up and join our group. It is the best way to stay up to date on everything that is going on and stay in touch with other Society members worldwide. We would especially like to see people uploading pictures and videos of chapter events around the world. Wouldn’t that be cool?
We are going to have a workshop at the Annual Leadership Conference October 2-3 on how to use social networking to assist us in our vision of “growing moral and ethical leadership around the world” through the BYU Management Society. Please post your comments on how you think we can use these Facebook groups to achieve our goals.
Thanks and I look forward to seeing all of you that the Annual Leadership Conference!

Thanks for the note on Facebook groups, Bill. I just signed up as the 50th member of the BYU Management Society group. I agree with your comments that social networking sites can be helpful to building unity and enthusiasm.
I have found Facebook and LinkedIn to enhance networking efforts. It is easy to share information among peers and even make it available to some with whom one is not yet familiar. I get calls and email now from people whose first contact with me was on Facebook or LinkedIn.
In addition, if there is broad use by members of a certain group it makes communication to the entire group much easier. It’s a great alternative to the labor intensive effort of maintaining a current list of members’ email addresses.
