Website Committee

Teams & Tasks

The Website Committee will break into teams, each one looking into various facets of ASLIA's online presence. To reiterate, the committee is investigating multiple options to update ASLIA's website. These findings will be presented to the ASLIA membership in a final report. The report will detail the findings, illustrating the obstacles and opportunities.

The initial motion to refer the discussion to a committee was in April 2018. Unfortunately, details of the discussion have been lost. The committee can question membership to piece together the discussion.
