 * Update website according to information/files received.

 * Verify information if there is a question.
 * About every 3 months - send email to board/braintrust for information. - Actually have usually been doing this monthly
 * Using wordpress event calendar for information for general membership
 * Using google calendar for tech fair committees to share times they work on things
 * Sent on irregular basis. If I there is something to send I send it once a month.
 * Method: Survey Monkey or Mail merge
 * Both are easy, just need most current membership database.
 * There are several lists: Curent SDCUE members, current and previous SDCUE members, Potential Speakers, Current speakers, braintrust.
 * Braintrust members are set to be able to send to the list - the other lists are for announcements only.
 * Most of the time emails have information from CUE or SDCUE.
 * SDCUE members are invited to share information - unless there is a question, this is posted on the website - and usually sent to members.
 * Purely business notices are approved by board or at least one board member before being sent or posted.
 * Universities and schools in general, send out one or two messages a year.
 * If there is a question it's passed by board.
 * Postcards have been designed and mailed by other members.
 * Flyers have been designed and mailed by other members.

//Could Do://
 * Email Conferences: Invite speaker to be available for certain number of days. Advertise and have people join a temporary mail distribution list. They submit questions. The speaker uses those to email wisdom to the troops.
 * RealTime Conferences: TappedIn format.

Problem:
 * When someone says they want to send emails then I put it off my list. But it's difficult to know if it's really going to happen or if I have to remember.
 * People do not always respond to emails...
