Social Media Committee Charter

A. Purpose

The Social Media Committee (SMC) oversees the social media strategy initiatives for Logiq, Inc. pursuant to Regulation FD. Members of the SMC are appointed by Logiq Board of Directors Nominating Committee and are accountable to the Board of Directors. The committee will:

  1. Provide compliant Regulation FD strategic leadership for social media through the alignment of social media strategies and activities with enterprise strategic objectives and processes.
  2. Establish and maintain corporate policies with respect to use of social media for both process-driven social engagements, as well as for use of social media by employees for participating in social conversations (e.g. blogging and Tweeting by subject matter experts).
  3. Prioritize social media initiatives and deliver final approvals and recommendations on proceeding with proposed social media projects, including process, technology, and organizational projects.
  4. Ensure open communication between the social media department and the other functional units of Logiq, Inc. to promote collaborative strategies, planning, and implementation.

The SMC is not responsible in any way for the social media unit’s operating budget and social media unit staff. Day-to-day operations of the social media unit are expected to be influenced by decisions made by the SMC but are not to be directly carried out by the committee. The SMC will not advise social media unit staff to make any decisions or take any action which violates enterprise policies or regulations.
