Develop and Implement chapter website as a resource for us to gather and share information about events and topics important to us, an online newsletter of our distributed printed copy, and a place to hear questions, feedback and comments from our members. Website created by Jan 27, 2008. As a means to improve communication we used ”blog/newsletter” format. New articles appear at the top. Each article contains a “comments” link that allows anyone to comment by name or anonymously – new comments appear on the right side column of the website. To give our visitors an updated snapshot of who currently is active in union/chapter activities; we created a “Contact Us” page that lists all of the participating chapter members, their current roles, and contact information. A “Help Us” page was created in order to direct people that want to help by becoming voting members or volunteer their time to the appropriate person. A “Goals” page was created to act as a running history of what we wanted to do, what we accomplishedand who was involved. On Tuesday, May 20, 2008 we had a total of 4,204 guests view our site since first published. (Aydin Laghaie)
