A few months ago, I attended my first ever professional conference. Participants came from all over the world. There was this awesome collection of people from an assortment of professions all having to do with media literacy. People involved
with media literacy now all have
their ownangles and agendas. The media is so broad that everyone can have their own area of expertise, and a conference like this is the perfect way to showcase our differences.
The conference also introduced me to the AMLA Graduate Student Caucus. Many members were in attendance; many were presenters for the conference as well. It was so refreshing to meet other students from around the country who were in the same boat as myself. A local group would help us pool our resources and connections within our community.

I would suggest you post the information about the mission of the Caucus, meeting times and agendas. That way those who read your blog and are inspired to become involved have the information at hand. Maybe the group could look into meetup.com, then those in the area searching for such a group would find it more easily.
