Hi everyone,
Thank you for meeting on Wednesday at our board meeting. This is a follow up email based on our conversation about website functionality and updates. We have decided we want web support for the following tasks:
•Update the front/public facing website
•For sustainability of the website, train board members on basic use of the website (to upload materials to the member portal, update front facing materials)
•Support for quarterly content updates
I have sent out requests for three quotes based this work. Once I receive the quotes, I will meet with the executive to make a recommendation to the board. Then I will send the recommendation to the whole board for an e-vote/approval. I hope to have this person working by the end of March, so the due dates below reflect this timeline.
Tasks were identified for each subcommittee. I have added due dates.
Each subcommittee chair: Create an annual process cycle for web updates. What content would you need uploaded to the web and when? Due to Fenton March 21.
Student subcommittee: meet with Aggie to develop CCLR content for the Instagram account. March 21
Simon: to compile information on previous CALS award winners. March 21
Communications subcommittee: figure out a way to garner information from Congress attendees about what content is needed on the website (not a dream list, but a practical list). You will need a point person who is attending Congress to undertake this task. Who will this be? Let Fenton know by March 21. Have this survey/consultation ready to go for June 2 (Congress)
Communications sub-committee: Connect with Maggie and Mahsa to create information about Congress for the CALS website. March 21
Communications sub-committee: Connect with Aggie to link CCLR information to our website and create needed content for CALS website about CCLR. March 21.
Please stay tuned for next steps.
Thank you all,
Fenton
