The Hand of SA Reaching the Newcomer. Help!

SA has a set of Trustee Committees (see Concept 11) that provide advice and perform tasks on behalf of the Trustees. The Information Technology (IT) Committee is commissioned to develop and maintain the sa.org website. This website is often the first contact newcomers have with our fellowship and serves as a hub for providing information, literature, and services to all SA members. We would like to keep it in tip-top shape.

Several years ago, a major effort was invested to update the underlying technology of the website so that it reliably displays on screens of all sizes. This technology is called WordPress. Over the following years, the technology underlying particular components of the website, such as the Store and Conventions and Events, was also updated. We are now ready to circle back and continue improving the website as a whole. This is a large task that we need help with! Here are some of the projects we are working on:

Deploying a map-based meeting finder

Developing a time-based virtual meeting finder

Updating the website’s building technology

Creating a new look and feel

Reorganizing content

Adding more content related to service

Improving the meeting registration tool

On several of these projects, the IT Committee is working with the Public Information Committee (PIC), who have provided ideas for content and graphics. But we need more help, for instance from web designers, artists, writers, project managers, committee/subcommittee secretaries, etc.

Please consider volunteering!

To be a formal, voting member of the IT Committee, two years of sobriety are required. To help with projects as a non-voting member, we recommend at least one year of sobriety. If you are interested in contributing, please contact SAICO at saico@sa.org for an application.
