Recently, we have decided to move our ACA regional community* initiatives from Facebook Pages to Facebook Groups.  Here are the reasons why:

Facebook Group Pros

• Efficiently communicate with Group members via chat, email, wall posts, messages, shared documents, and events.
• Groups provide a platform curated towards communities/associations.  This allows for easier internal communications.
• Common connections allow you to view your specific network.

• Social Skinny: Facebook Pages Vs. Facebook Groups
• Facebook: Organic Reach on Facebook

How to Join
