Web Site
Committee
- In order to keep our web
site an inviting place to visit,
it needs continuous updating.
- There are several
opportunities on the web site
committee:

you have expertise in
FrontPage, Dreamweaver, or
web development and
maintenance, in general, we
need help with creating new
pages and updating existing
pages.

writer and would like to
write content for the web,
we need your experience to
create interesting,
appealing content.

maintenance, this is an
opportunity for you to do
just that!
- Contributor to “What’s
New”, “Toolbox”, or “Best
Of”. If you have something
interesting to share with
our ISPI community, submit a
short written article
describing it. It could be
something you’ve learned, a
tool you found useful, some
interesting upcoming event,
or other news that would be
of interest to our local
ISPI community.
Program Planning
- Planning a program can be an
exciting, interesting
experience.
- You can commit to planning
just one.
- Pick one of the topics on
the list of programs and contact
one of the program coordinators
and tell them you’d like to work
on that program.
- Program planning involves:
- Managing one program.
You don’t have to present
it, unless you have
expertise in that topic and
you want to present.
- Further defining the
topic, that is, more detail
on program focus.
- Getting a credible
person to present the topic.
- Working with a Program
Coordinator to arrange
logistics (place, time).
- Introducing the
presenter at the program
meeting, if you wish to do
so.
Membership
Development

friends and acquaintances who
are in the performance
improvement field about our
programs and our organizations!
- Forward names and contact
information (e-mail preferred)
of interested professionals to membership@stl-ispi.org
- Their names will be added to
the distribution list and they
will be provided information
about programs and membership.
Other
Opportunities
- From time to time, other
opportunities present. When they
do, we will post a message to
our distribution list.
- If you see something that
you think would be valuable to
our members and our chapter, let
a
board member know. The
Board will consider your
suggestion. Who knows? It may be
the latest great idea.
