New Leadership menu on web site

[Seth Park]

Hi Folks. I launched a bunch of new content. Please check when you get a 
chance.

* New competition entry form
* New Navigation scheme with "Leadership" ("strategy" will go under it when 
created)
* New board activities page with new minutes PDFs and general board mtg info
* February info on home page and program page
* Clickable calendar appts (feb and mar) on calendar and program page (Pleez 
check these!!)

Other notes
* several of you have recently discovered alias issues. Please check your 
email alias if you havent received email in a while! If you have an 
stcaustin.org email address, you can access and administer your email 
directly from the webmail client: mail.stcaustin.org. Your user name is your 
email address; Let me know if you need your password. If you want to compose 
email "from" your stcaustin email address, easiest way is to use the webmail 
client.

* If you submitted a request, please check to see that it has been 
completed. If not, I forgot about it; please re-submit.

-regards,
Seth



>>>Thank you all for a good board meeting on Tuesday.  We had a lot of 
>>>backed-up action items to dispense with or re-deploy.
>>>
>>>One thing we did not get to is an item in new business:  the posting of 
>>>board meeting information, the chapter strategy, and board meeting 
>>>minutes.
>>>
>>>I have the following suggestions for Seth and you all to consider:
>>>
>>>1. Create a new top-level menu, Leadership.  Position it between Austin 
>>>STC and It should have the following items:
>>>     a. Officers    (current Officers page)
>>>     b. Mission   (current Mission page)
>>>     c. Strategy  (new, contains the current strategy document, which we 
>>>have been maintaining through two years of leadership retreats)
>>>     d. Board Meetings  (new, contains a statement on where and when the 
>>>board meets and the archive of Board meeting minutes).  The "Board 
>>>Meeting" entries in the Calendar would link to this page.
>>>
>>>That leaves the Austin STC menu with two items, Membership and Calendar.
>>>In the future I'd like to add an item for Volunteering to help engage 
>>>people in what they can do.
>>>
>>>This increases the width of the menu, but that could be ameliorated if 
>>>necessary by putting it below the STC logo rather than to the right of 
>>>it. I trust Seth with the fine points.
>>>
>>>Rationale:
>>>One of the things we want to do is promote participation in leading the 
>>>chapter.  Identifying leadership as a separate item gets it in front of 
>>>eyeballs and makes it easier for people to find and engage with.
>>>
>>>I considered the idea of extending the Austin STC menu, but it makes the 
>>>menu long and buries the topics.
>>>
>>>Also, we are *obligated* to share our strategy and board meeting minutes 
>>>with the membership. (See Article IV Section 3 "Board Responsibilitie" in 
>>>the chapter bylaws.) We are way behind on getting this resolved and have 
>>>had difficulties with it over the past two years.  If we want people to 
>>>get involved, they need to know what's going on. We're doing good things 
>>>and my observation is that when people see the plans and feel our fire, 
>>>they want to get involved too.
>>>
>>>I'd like to know your thoughts. Seth, once we work out the details do you 
>>>have an idea when this could be implemented?
>>>
