This is to advise all NFHR members in good standing (ie paid up!) that at
the recent annual Board meeting (the 'Face to Face') it was agreed that we
need to establish a cross-cutting Communications Committee. The mandate of
this newly created group is to consider all aspects of internal and external
communications, including the review and updating of the current NFHR
website, utilizing the latest advances in technology.
As this topic is now surfacing on this List, I thought I would take
advantage of the interest and invite people to volunteer their services to
help with one or more of the elements that will make up a Communications
Strategy for the NFHR - among the Board and Committees, and to improve
communications between the Board/Cttees, with the membership, at large.
I already have one name . Genie, who saw a note in the Herald from last
year, noting our intention to upgrade the website. And I have a few other
names of people who signalled a willingness to help out last year, when I
was looking for help with the COOP Program, and trying to get email
correspondence going now that more than half our members are online. I know
we will want to canvas the membership for ideas, but the Committee itself
needs to be relatively compact, and be task oriented.
Based on my experience with the Advertising Committee last year (EXCELLENT
help thank you all!) I am hoping for anywhere from 5-10 members, max ..
people who are willing to commit actual hands on time to effecting change,
for the better. We particularly need people who are computer and internet
savvy.
If NFHR 'communications' are an issue for you, or at least, you have ideas
about how we can improve things, for you as members, please feel free to
contact me privately. I need to put forward the list of members to the
Board for approval (standard process) before the next meeting (mid Feb) ..
so the sooner the better, if you'd like to help out.
Thanks in advance for your interest. : )
