In less than ten years, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube have become staples of our daily existence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In fact, chances are pretty good that you\u2019ve used at least one of them today.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With all of this media surrounding us and making our lives easier supposedly, it can be easy to forget that what you post to these sites is forever \u2013 no really, forever. People constantly post things to their Facebook pages seemingly unaware that the content of their site, and the things they post to it, can have a dramatic affect on their daily lives and the lives of those around them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">How does it affect your daily life?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Take for example a recent study conducted by OPP that found roughly 56 percent of potential employers check an applicant\u2019s Facebook page before making a hiring decision.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More than 90 percent of potential employers already conduct background checks and it\u2019s a fair bet that in the near future, 90 percent will check your Facebook as well. In this economy, you can\u2019t afford to lose a job opportunity because of the surplus of drunken photos on your Facebook.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That of course is just one example. I can\u2019t begin to think about how many relationships ended because of something posted to Facebook. It\u2019s funny, but it happens all the time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All of this applies to your Grange life as well and the things you post to your Grange\u2019s social media sites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">As a nonpartisan organization, it\u2019s important that the things you post and make public to others show our organization in a positive light and correctly reflects our value system. That means no swearing, no derogatory language, no inappropriate photos, no political rants, etc. on Grange pages and sites.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is especially important for potential Grange members who might be checking our sites to get a better understanding of who we are and what we do as an organization.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highly partisan posts can unintentionally communicate to onlookers that the Grange is affiliated with that party or candidate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Grange is a nonpartisan, family-oriented organization and our media content should reflect such.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Of course, even in the Grange, everyone has the right to express his or her opinion, just make sure you pick the right venue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Many of our members are very proud to be part of our organization and often display their regalia or our logo in their profile or photos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you have specific references to yourself as a Grange member or officer in your profile photos or in your profile name, it is important that you avoid partisan political posts as it reflects on the entire organization rather than just you as a person.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you just can\u2019t help yourself this time of year \u2013 or anytime, in fact \u2013 please change your profile name or photo to something that does not include the Grange at the forefront so people associate your opinions with you, not with the organization as a whole.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Social media is here to stay, as are the problems it sometimes generates. It\u2019s just the world we live in now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We must remember that our words and actions communicate heavily to those around us and work to ensure that we are sending the right message at all times. Basically, it all boils down to what your mother taught you: think before you speak, or in this case, before you post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When promoting Grange affiliation in profile, members should refrain from partisan posts.
