The ACD and Social Media: Beyond Suzan Pitman ACD Operations Director
A page from our first website, launched by Dr. Stephen Ralls in 1997.
The College’s online presence was established by Dr. Stephen Ralls, former Executive Director and Past President, when he created our first website in 1997. Dr. Ralls started mocking up a website for the ACD before he began his official tenure in March of that year. His swift action was prescient in that he recognized early how essential electronic communication could become. Twenty-five years later, social media has taken digital communication further than even Dr. Ralls imagined and can be broadly defined as “creating and sharing user-generated content.”1
