Welcome to the NEW Northwest Section Website!
Section Chair Todd Bridigum on the motivation to create this brand-new site:
The decision was made to suspend the newsletter for the remainder of this year. Cost for printing and mailing are high, and without the financial support of advertisers it is cost priohibitive to continue the newsletter. We will continue to send oput fliers and mailings giving information about the various events for the rest of the year.
In addition to our regular website, a new website [you're on it-Admin] and Facebook page have been created to better communicate with our members and provide quick and easy access to information about upcoming section events.
I’m a new AWS member as of January 2009, and along with fellow Executive Committee and classmate Dan Johnson (running our Facebook page), I took on the responsibilty to help provide our members with up-to-date current information. I chose the Word Press blog format for this site because of the ease of operation, ease of updating, ease of reading, and cost-effectiveness. It also provies us with a branding opportunity; no longer will visitors have to follow a convoluted path to get section information, all they need to know is AWSNorthwest.org to get the latest news and updates of upcoming events, and coverage of recently-held events.
Look for more branding of events as time rolls on.
My goal is to make this site the one-stop shop for Northwest Section members, playing an intergral part in making this section once again the great section it was in the past!
