Some of the readers of my blog may be aware of the mess RAC ARES in Ontario has found itself these days. For most of us there has been zero communications from them for the past 12 months, how can you lead an organization with no communications? How can this organization grow?
It amazes me that RAC ARES in Ontario thinks it can get away with this very poor website (CLICK). What is the purpose of this website? It has no useful information on it, and some of what is on it seems to be out of date.
In fact things seem to have fallen apart so much, I have to ask if RAC still has a viable ARES organization in Ontario anymore?
Has anybody told RAC that in the 21st Century an organization needs an informative, easy to navigate, and a constantly updated website in order to attract and inform new, as well as old, members? How about a Blog that actually allows its members to post comments.....negative and positive? Unless you get the odd negative comment you don't know what may require a little tweak now and then to fix things......(and before anybody leaves me a comment, I'm well aware what RAC did to the Blog that Peter West - VA3HG built for RAC).
So I was very pleased to see that ECOA has announced their 2012 AGM on their new blogsite. It will be held in Toronto on the 3rd March at 1200L, at Fort York Armouries, 660 Fleet Street West.
What is really nice to see is that ECOA members will have the opportunity to actually cast a vote on agenda items, and on who will be their new executive members. Not bad for $15 a year membership fee - which includes $2 million liability insurance coverage, and a real voice in what the association does.
A real vote you say? What a novel concept in emergency communications!
