Changes begin to CCA MD website
As part of improving communications, CCA MD will work during the next 12 months to improve its website, making it more user-friendly and informative. Today marks the first improvement.
The “Who we are” and “Conserving your resources” descriptions that appeared previously in this area have been moved to the "What is CCA?" drop down menu. In their place will appear short articles on major CCA MD initiatives and activities.
The first major change is the calendar, and we encourage you to take a look at our new approach. The calendar is now interactive and will be updated frequently by the executive director and chapter and committee leaders. Chapter and committee meetings along with CCA MD activities and projects will be listed on the calendar, and, when additional information is available, viewers will be able to click on the item to read it. For instance, a chapter meeting will be listed on the calendar, and viewers can see who will be speaking by clicking on the calendar item. Meetings of the Management Committee, Executive Board, and Board of Directors will be listed, and when the agenda is developed it will be seen by clicking on the meeting date.
“This is a major step forward in keeping our members informed in our age of electronic communications,” said Tony Friedrich, executive director. “But we need CCA MD leaders to contact us to keep the calendar current and complete. With this approach, members will know what the leadership groups will be discussing before the meetings and be able to provide input if they desire.
Improvements will continue to the website during the coming months.
“While there is much to do to make the site a better communications vehicle, it will take some time to accomplish all we want,” said Lew Armistead, communications chair. “Tony will start working on changes, but he also has other important work to do as he becomes familiar with his new responsibilities as executive director. I encourage members to keep checking the site to see how it evolves.” |
