Although many of you may have participated in a GoToMeeting, some have been missing out on this great "remote" conferencing tool. It's hard not to hear about it these days, as I understand they are now advertising on national TV. Here's to becoming an early adopter.
The two most effective and least expensive ways to find new opportunities:
The Bear on the Square Executive Committee liked their old site. Only problem was that they had a difficult time getting the site updated and making it really look the way the festival feels to performers and attendees. Although the site was appealing, it was difficult for the Communications Committee to keep updated on a regular basis and maintain the styling so the site could remain professional. In addition to the update issues, the site just wasn't as hip as the event.
The Dahlonega Chamber of Commerce and Convention and Visitors Bureau was one of the first Joomla sites we launched. By implementing Joomla and providing several training classes, the Chamber staff had the ability to update content, images, and menus on their site.
The 400 North Board of Realtors have a large professional organization and major communication needs--but their site did not match the professionalism of the organization and they were unable to make timely updates.
Not only was the site out-dated, but other organizations were passing them by in terms of tools available to help their members, and enabling member-to-member recognition and communication. As an educational association, the 400 North Board of Realtors needed a little schooling!
