Chat
A member benefit was unveiled in September 2010 on the HAA website. If you have a question, comment or issue, you can immediately chat with an HAA staff member through an instant message.
To chat with an HAA staff member, just log-in on the HAA homepage. A log-in is required, because chats are only available to HAA members. Once a member is logged in, he can choose which department he would like to visit with by clicking on the link next to their department name. If a staff member from a department is unavailable, their phone number will appear instead of a chat icon.
When a chat is initiated, a chat screen will appear:
Simply click on the “Compose message here…” and begin typing your message. Click on the “Send IM” button to send it. If a staff member has stepped away from their desk and is unable to chat, after 90 seconds you will have the option of emailing them your message.
The chat option is available for the following departments:
- Education
- Government Affairs
- Member Services
- Resident Relations
- Special Events
- Supplier Services
The HAA staff is committed to providing outstanding customer service to members.
Social Media Policy
The term “Social Media Platforms” refers to HAA initiated groups, feeds,
videos, channels, streams, events and other content on third-party social media
sites.
HAA may utilize social media platforms for communications with
members. In addition, these platforms may be opened for use by members in
communications with each other. HAA staff members will moderate content
on the social media platforms.
HAA desires an association that is free of harassment and sensitive to
the diversity of our members. Therefore, we do not allow members to use social
media platforms in ways that are disruptive, offensive to others, or harmful to
morale.
HAA does not allow posting of sexually explicit images, messages, and
cartoons. Social media platforms may not be used for ethnic slurs, racial
comments, or off-color jokes.
HAA does not allow the unauthorized use, installation, copying, or
distribution of copyrighted, trademarked, or patented material on social media
platforms.
HAA reserves the right to create any groups, pages, communities and
promotional material that bear the Houston Apartment Association name or any of
its related committees or events. Any HAA member or member companies
should consult with HAA staff before creating such pages or promotions. If such
pages or events are created without approval, HAA may request that they be
taken down. This includes Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat or any other
social media platforms.
HAA’s social media platforms may not be used for the purpose of
marketing one’s business in an overt fashion. This includes job postings
and candidate searches. Any posting that is deemed to violate the Social
Media Policy may be removed by site administrators.
If
you believe a posting has been removed in error please notify site
administrators, HAA's Executive Vice President or any member of
management.
If you know about any violations to this
policy, notify site administrators, HAA’s Executive Vice President or
any member of management.
