Website/Calendar

• Distributed website list of NNN members already on website for for updating. Margaret will follow-up to add new listings and solicit descriptions & contact updates & will act as the contact

• What should a revised website incorporate? That will come clear from the other committees – Marketing, Resource/Collaboration, & Programming

• Community support/fundraising is an increasing challenge in the economic downturn. Our retailers & commercial establishments are seriously challenged by all the “asks.” Greater efforts at collaboration would reduce the number of asks. Reducing or taking advantage of the overlapping missions (something the website could help with) would be an excellent first step. For example – although the MMF recently did a free concert with/for children, it could have been enhanced by collaborating with a children’s organization.

• Chamber calendar and NNN calendar would allow information to flow more freely between the for profit & not for profit communities.

• Website is the vehicle for distributing info, including events. Floodbrook did a fundraising committee outreach that is worth looking at

• What areas do we want information gathered on? We can all send in that specific info and compile it.

• Send an email to the point person on each committee with information pertinent to that committee vis a vis their organization. Point person for Website: Margaret – margaret@temblorcreative.com; Marketing: Beth – bmeacham@manchesterchamber.net; Programs: Tara – tara@thecollaborative.us
