CoR Communications

In January 2017 I notified the board of directors that I was developing a website designed to aid in council communications. At that time I was unclear in my own thinking exactly what I proposed to do with it other than host an email address on the domain, but I did purchase the domain, ashicor.org, and put up a rudimentary home page with very little content.

As time passed two things became clear to me:
  1. Maintenance of the council roster was more than important; it was crucial. The legitimacy of ASHI's elections was dependent on it.
  2. The method in use was impractical and, as a result, was failing. 
I turned the website into a roster maintenance tool based on a few simple precepts:
  1. All the data should be housed in one central database.
  2. Data should be updated in real time and accessible immediately by all people with a need for the information.
  3. Data should be entered by the person closest to the information.
  4. There should be incentives and reminders for people to enter data.
  5. There should be methods for confirming the integrity of the data.
Each chapter got its own data entry portal wherein it could:
  1. Maintain its own membership roster
    1. New members could join
    2. Members could maintain their own demographic information
    3. Chapter could collect dues
  2. Communicate with its members
  3. Assign council representative(s)
  4. Submit its annual viability report
