Ever have an afternoon or a late night bout of insomnia and do nothing but troll the web? I suffer from insomnia when I am stressed so lately.. I have been doing a lot of web research (smile).
My new favorite thing to do is to check out other Division and chapter websites. I have several motives. One, to see what the layout and color scheme is; Do they use the calendar function? Do they post alot of chapter event pictures etc.
I dig deeper to look at their chapter events. How are they advertised, processed and how often is the chapter offering events. What methods are they using to receive payment for events? PayPal? Check only?
Do they include the chapter by-laws and minutes from board meetings? Are there materials available for members that can't make a meeting? Say, a handout or contact information for the speaker?
After visiting Seattle and then returning to DC I realized Capital Chapter website does.. ok. Here is a great opportunity for someone that wants to develop more websavvy...learn about websites and do it at a level that is not going to impact their workplace. Same goes for our chapter newsletter. There are loads of opportunities to learn and grow.. and of course, these add to a resume skill set, always a bonus when meeting with your current supervisor or looking for a new position.
Soon we'll have a new chapter webmaster. Graciously, Oliver Murdock CPS/CAP has agreed to take on this vital and important task. So... if you are interested in helping out, I'm sure he'd love to have more assistance.
Thanks, Oliver! Here we go into the 2008-2009 year for Capital.
Respectfully,
Kemetia
