Chapter Website Set-Up and Maintenance
This section tells you what you need to do to get your chapter page setup and maintain it after it's setup. We perfer to get you a custom look like the Northwest Chapter or the Liberty Chapter. After your site is setup It is essential that you keep your data on the website up to date.

 

To setup your chapter page we need:

1. Introduction picture for your main page it can be something from your local visual information office or from our sponsored "Hanger" from The Aviation Zone . You can select a group picture from your chapter functions like The Northwest Chapter did or use an aircraft picture like the Liberty Chapter This picture needs to be good quality and in JPEG format.

2. Introduction Paragraph: Tell us a bit about your chapter and maybe encourage local loadmasters to join your chapter ect.

3. Latest News: This is the EXACT same paragraph that your chapter submits to "The Loader" when you send that information to the editor forward the webmasters a copy and we will update the website.

3 . Meetings Information: see Liberty Meetings for an example

4 . Executive Committee information see Northwest Executive Committee for an example.

5 . Members List: Your members list will be updated periodically from the national membership database. If there is mistakes we recommend you get a full roster from the chapter president to verify that incorrect information is accurate. Such as members that expired and now are "In-Active" If you still see a mistake contact our Secretary and it will be addressed

6 . Photos: any photos you'd like added to your photos section

7 . 4 to 5 Aircraft JPEG pictures to make a custom style template like Mid-Atlantic and Liberty Chapter sites. A great place to start is the base visual information shop. These pictures need to be good quality for us to edit them into your site.

8. 4 to 5 Theme JPEG pictures for the custom template. These pictures would be like the Statue of Liberty for the Liberty Chapter or Mt. Rainier for the Northwest Chapter or 82nd AB jumper at the Mid-Atlantic Chapter I think you get what I'm saying.

9. Website POC: Normally the chapter president is the point of contact for the website. If you elect to have another person be your point of contact, that person needs to have e-mail and have access to all information about the chapter anytime the webmasters request it. We highly recommend the chapter president be the primary POC.

After you have gathered up this information please send it to the webmasters and we'll get to work. It's really not that difficult to keep it updated after we get it up all setup. Just keep us up to date on the officer changes, send in your photos from time to time, send in you latest news 3 times a year. If you have any special requests for your site please let us know we'd be glad to help your chapter anyway we can.

Thanks,

Rich deLucia- Webmaster
