As promised! Tips and tools for making your association experience a smooth one. Throughout the summer months we'll be spotlighting various association tips and tools we think will help our members better utilize OACP's platform. This week we're highlighting:
Communication with Fellow Members Committee Management System (CMS) and E-lists; facilitating committee communication
The CMS allows for simple communication while providing a means to keep historical records for current and future committee members to review. Please note there is character limits in sending a message. Files can also be uploaded at this site and reviewed.
The E-list allows you to send an email to everyone on the committee and is not limited by character count. They are currently set up so that every reply by a fellow committee member will be seen by all.
If you are serving on a committee this year it would benefit you to learn how to use these resources. If you are not yet familiar with them, they're easy. Just follow the simple steps we have outlined in the document below. We will be sending additional information about this to each committee member.
