Why Great Staffs?

Reposted from August 15

Thanks for checking out the new Capital Area UniServ blog, greatstaffs!

This blog represents the latest in a long line of techniques that your UniServ employs in order to reach our members in CAUS-N. So why do we want to contact you? Well as dues paying members of NEA, WEAC, CAUS-N and your individual local, you have every right to know what is going on in each level of our Union. We all have the responsibility to be an active contributing member to our professional organization.

Until greatstaffs our efforts as leaders have usually been confined to email, monthly meetings of the CAUS-N Board and our newsletter, Directions. While this method of communication works, it is painfully slow. Decisions made on behalf of CAUS-N members at the WEAC Board and CAUS-N Board are often done with little input from members. (Thankfully Tom and I have never made a mistake!) This blog gives our members and leaders a place to go with questions, suggestions or just networking with one another through the comments.

One final thing though, this blog will not work unless you become active on it. Please check back often as Tom and I will try to update it often. We both look forward to meeting all of you in this new way. We hope you enjoy this new opportunity!

Now for the cool part! What do you think of this idea? What types of things would be most beneficial to you in this blog?
