Main Membership File:
Information on all chapter members, including
uniformed service members and surviving spouses, both past and present,
is in a single database system maintained by the committee chair.
The system also contains names and addresses of elected area officials,
ROTC/NROTC detachments and newsletter advertisers. Each month a series
of reports about membership is prepared for use by the Board of Directors
and posted to a restricted area of the website. As required, the
system can print address labels for the newsletter, luncheon announcements
and membership recruiting and retention. The MMF is synchronized
with the digital MOAA Committee Module to ensure accuracy at the national
level.
Newsletter:
Typically the chapter's newsletter "The
Tribute" is published six times each year. Printed copies are mailed
to all members, a digital version is posted to the website and an email
is sent to all members notifying them that the latest edition is avaible
on the web. The Newsletter Editor's functions are describled in a
separate article.
Website:
The chapter maintains a website available
on the Internet with a wide variety of information about MOAA, our chapter,
its members and of relevance to the entire community of active and retired
uniformed officers, their spouses and surviving spouses. The website
contains not only current news and information but also serves as a repository
of historical information about the chapter. The function of the
Website Content Editor is to develop, research and screen item to be included
on the website.
Member Directory:
Updated monthly, or more frequently if
required, the Member Directory is now in digital format and available on
the website through the Members Only Access link. The purpose is
to encourage communications and foster a spirit of camaraderie among the
chapter members. |
