In Attendance: Jessica Taylor, Janet Hovorka, Mike Provard, Lorilee Wagner, Michael Booth
Discussion of boundaries for the membership directory. Suggested a google form based system. Something that doesn’t fit can go to support services. How many employees, How many conferences, gross revenue from the genealogy market, years in business. Logo, 5-6 sentence description, contact info and location at the bottom. For business use only. Use judiciously. Create a Start up category for new companies until they reach a years-in-business line.
Reason for different membership list from facebook group. Yellow pages for genealogy? Is it worth the work? Why would it be used? Janet and Jessica can post new members and go to the committee for decisions on companies who might/might not fit the model. It will be hard to quantify usefulness of the membership list. If it is just a spreadsheet there isn’t any work at all. If we build a blog post page like the meeting minutes, you would have to click on each to get contact info which would discourage spamming.
Support services. Start with nominating member’s name. Multiple choice for business type. Web development, design, marketing, legal/attorneys, accounting/hr, business consulting, financial services, utilities (phone, it, hosting), benefits/health, benefits/retirement, exhibit supplies/printers. Personal contact, business name, contact info, email, phone, location. Details/why they’re recommended. Comment below for further reviews.
