Report to the Board
October 26, 2002
Nancy Shoemaker, Technology Chair
Accomplishments since Summer, 2002
1. Process for collecting branch officer contact information was refined
so that for 2003 the process should be much easier for the branches. Lists
of officers by branch and/or by office are now easily generated in several
formats using Microsoft Access as a foundation technology.
2. Continued support of the Winston-Salem branch in launching the NC
Online Satellite. The branch now has a web page and its newsletter is
posted online.
3. Continued tech consulting to NC Women United. They are still borrowing
web space from AAUW NC to, for instance, post the Women's Agenda Assembly
documents. However, www.ncwu.org should be "live" by the end
of November.
4. Analyzed errors in the Fall THN mailing list. Many members in good
standing were dropped from the list. If cooperation can be secured from
the Association, draft lists will be provided to the branches for verification
before the next mail date.
5. Completed draft of electronic communication policy - see attached.
6. Posted material from Summer Conference, including many templates for
personalizing Association brochures.
Plans (by Spring Board meeting)
1. Continue to encourage all AAUW NC board members with programmatic
responsibilities to contribute summary information for the web site.
2. Implement "digest" option for those who would prefer collections
of e-mail messages related to AAUW NC. [This was delayed for technical
reasons related to upgrades on RTPnet. It will be implemented as soon
as the appropriate infrastructure is in place.]
3. Create a flyer that works as an introduction to the web site.
Deferred (need does not appear critical)
1. List of technology camps on the web site. [This may be revisited as
part of a statewide program.]
