Progress
The project team aims to improve communication across the Society through the establishment of a communication mechanism that:
- improves transparency and accountability;
- provide Members / staff (and other users?) with access to a national register of contacts;
- includes a repository of information;
- makes communication and access between Members easier;
- allow Members to easily access advocacy materials; and
- facilitates a Question-and-Answer platform for Members.
The solution must complement, not duplicate, existing intranet sites or digital platforms currently in use across the Society.
The project team is gaining an understanding of what each State and Territory Council currently has in place to communicate with Members, and how Membership data is stored.
