Upon examination of a few relevant websites including those mentioned recently, I think a site CAN be a great tool for building our organization, but we must give brothers a reason to visit frequently. I present this test run for the GLAMAA blog.
It provides a vehicle for the organization to present messages in a unified way. Its a big improvement over generic emails.
I will commit to being the "admin" if everyone agrees to move forward in this direction, but the great thing is that anyone on an approved list can post. And its very easy to do. Also, anyone can leave a comment on a thread.
The real point is for this blog is to serve as a hub for the org including:
events
bios
contact info
dues paying paypal link
notices
committee info/progress
community sevice projects
discussion threads (jena 6, aids, poverty, education etc.)
anything at all! the point is it can be completely flexible and very dynamic
I think we can drive traffic to the site on a regular basis via teaser emails (a la Evite) w/current post headlines as links.
Please take a look and be ready to discuss. Pass it on to whomever you see fit for feedback, BUT it is not official and will not be announced/presented to the members UNTIL there has been time to address issues such as:
•who should be able to post (paid dues?)
•what contact info will be posted
•what else should/could be included (including from past GLAMAA site)
•other issues/concerns that you can think of
