Colleagues,

I know some on this list are going to ruffle at this idea but we need a more
progressive model of sharing information and resources around fundraising. I
am proposing that we establish an online Wiki where members can register and
get access to specific fundraising resources, ideas, and materials. We could
do this through NFB.ORG by granting access to those we want to have access.
Of course, we can limit access to some to read only while others could have
the ability to also create resources. Finally, anything we post on the Wiki
would be easily transferrable to word documents, HTML, or Braille. Rather
than creating static documents we need a dynamic environment for sharing. 

We also need to get people to begin logging into NFB.ORG and using it in a
more dynamic way. This will push us to do that.

Mark

I think that the best way to disseminate the information about successes and
updates would be to the State Leadership and Chapter President's lists. Not
that it's a giant secret , what we're doing on our committee but this list
will , in my opinion, best serve as an internal means of communication for
our committee. I also believe that it will serve our committee and the
organization well if we ask to have a fund raising coordinator / director/
whatever the best moniker may be to have a handle on the larger picture of
fund raising within each affiliate. 

Have a fantastic day,
Jeannie

Yes, Jeanny.  I think we want to do all of those things.  Adding to the Tool
Kit might be an excellent way to handle reports of new successes.  Do you
think we should use this list for that?
