COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR'S UPDATE

-- 17 March 2010 --

     We are continuing to develop the Chapter website to provide more content to its members. We are not as far as long as I would like but we have a few additional features and pages under development. This latest version now incorporates information about the Chapter elections which is our next major event. I am also serving as the chairman for this year’s reunion and I will post information regarding the event once it is approved at the March Chapter meeting. The Chapter is looking into ways we can receive payment through the website to facilitate registration along with paying for Chapter membership. Additionally, we are working on the Memorial Bike Ride in May and creating functional e-mail accounts for the Chapter officers and key functions within the Chapter.

     The next Chapter newsletter is due out this month and features a tribute to COL Bob Howard who was buried at Arlington on 22 February.

     Please take the time to vote using one of the options available to Chapter members and to help spread the word about Chapter events and the scholarships. We are constantly seeking feedback and input for the newsletter and website to better communicate with Chapter members. Any and all feedback and information is welcome and appreciated as we attempt to improve the Chapter.
