    SEACSM to Initiate a New Communications Network!

    For many years, the SEACSM has communicated with members by publishing this annual newsletter to disseminate information about chapter news and upcoming events. This has served the chapter well for many years. Recently, Don Torok at Florida Atlantic University volunteered to publish a web site for the chapter. Hopefully, most of you have seen and used this site. Don has done a superb job in gathering and publishing information. He has continued to maintain this site and has started to establish a database of email addresses of all members. With the ability to submit abstracts electronically and the establishment of this membership database, the web site is fast becoming the "hub" of SEACSM activity. As with most web activities, management of the web site has grown to the point that it is a most demanding job.

    Because Don's job has grown so large, it is unfair to ask him to continue to maintain the email database and keep the lines of communication open to members without some local help. At the annual meeting in Norfolk, SEACSM officers decided that it was time to update our communications system between members and the chapter officers. With the use of email, it is now possible to communicate vast amounts of information, between many people, in a very short period of time. This capability now allows us to notify members of timely news and information on short notice. Thus, in the very near future, we will begin communications with members through this "email network".

    The network will consist of a pyramid of members who will serve to disseminate information to and from members and the chapter officers (yes, this is a pyramid scheme!). This network will serve to disseminate information with minimal work for each of the participants. The flow of information is best illustrated by the chart below. The network will utilize state coordinators that will establish a distribution list (one email sent to several individuals) of coordinators at the universities/organizations in their state. Then, when input is needed from members, the state coordinators can use their current distribution lists to elicit a response from members (e.g., views on various chapter issues) and forward the compiled responses to the chapter. To get this system off to a good start, please make sure that your email address is current. Then, look forward to hearing more from your state coordinator. By pooling our communication efforts, we can make the chapter work more efficiently and effectively!
