OLD BUSINESS
*Website update (David Summers)
David
reports that our free site has been unable to provide us (and the other
associations) with the proper tech support needed for our growing website. He
has asked each of the current participating associations to contribute no more
than $200.00 per year for a website with tech support 24/7. The following
motions were made and passed:
Motion
to contribute a cap cost of $200.00/yr and allow David creative rights in
choosing web provider made by Johnny Delgado and seconded by Karen Chamberlain.
The annual cost of the website would be
equally divided among the participants.
*Website update (David Summers)
continued
Motion for
development of guidelines for the use of the website by a sub-committee made up
of one representative from each participating group and chaired by David made
by Johnny Delgado and seconded by Louise Bowen. Karen Chamberlain has agreed to
represent this association.
It was also
discussed and agreed that David would have sole access (to the website) for
changes and updates. Any new materials for the website must be forwarded to
him.
