    Social media requires an email address for signing up.  Rather than having it tied to an individual who may or may not continue their service, a general email will allow for continuity of information.  It would also allow a few people to access it (Chair, BM, ABM) to keep communications consistent and keep email history known.

    This would be for signing up for email, collecting survey responses, or for people to submit information for publishing.
