Group Promotion Volunteers

It would be ideal to have at least two volunteers in each group who are willing to take on the work of promoting the group, as the work ranges from very regular social media contact to occasional PR events. Of course the work can be taken on by volunteers doing other work for the group, such as moderating! The specs below describe the range of promotional skills and work that would be great to have in each group, but of course it is up to you how much of this you would ask a person to do.
