The president is Preston Parker who formed the group with two other members after going to a Social Media Club meeting in Salt Lake City. SMCCV includes six board members and 26 total members. They meet the second Thursday of every month and discuss aspects of social media.

The purpose of SMCCV is to educate people about social media, its use, discuss social media issues and create a group of like minded individuals to support each other.
