On March 15, The NCE Technology and Communications Committee hosted the initial conference call of what we hope will become a regular resource for Arc chapters across the country. We brought together individuals from five different chapters and National to share opinions and experiences relative to technology. The attendees for this “Tech Talk” were selected from chapters currently taking advantage of NCE’s relationship with NTEN.
I would like to thank the chapters that were on the call: Westchester Arc, The Arc of the Central Chesapeake Region, The Arc, The Arc of Greater Pittsburgh (ACHIEVA), The Arc of Davidson County, and The Arc of Greater Tarrant County. In addition to the diversity of the chapters, the group included a mix of individuals from different areas within the organizations. Executives, IT staff and Marketing individuals took part in the conversation.
The group spent some time discussing the format and frequency of future “Tech Talks” prior to actually talking about the application of technology within our organizations. The point of the group is for chapters that have experience and/or expertise in technology to share it with other chapters around the country. In this initial meeting, the group discussed:
- Where marketing and technology intersect
- Using technology to improve our services
- Document management systems
- Communicating technology concepts and expectations in non-technical terms
The next “Tech Talk” webinar/conference call will be open to a much broader audience. Look for the date and time in a future communication from NCE. If you are interested in participating or having somebody from your chapter participate, contact Steve McDonell via e-mail: smcdonell@achieva.info
