Questions we'll be discussing: What communication and organizing platforms are working for us? How can they be integrated with the new communications initiatives we have planned, such as our forthcoming chapter newsletter? What are the main goals of our chapter website, and in what ways could it change to better serve our communication needs? If you've been considering getting involved in chapter leadership, these meetings will be a great opportunity to test the waters without making a long-term commitment at the outset. And since the Webmaster position is opening up in the fall, they'll also be a great opportunity for the next NEASIST Webmaster to have an impact now on the direction our site is heading! The working group has a fixed duration of just two months: this July and August. We'll meet in person twice, most likely in Boston, at or near Simmons College. If you'd like to join, please let us know your availability at http://doodle.com/yq3r9dpzz9xzk46a by the end of June. We hope many of you will be interested in participating in these discussions. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
