Phillip will share the presentation with the board.

6. Alumni Magnet Training

Quintin and Kelley reviewed the attached website training presentation.

Internet connection was very slow so the administrative training did not occur. Natalie and Kelley agreed to communicate off-line to transfer tasks to Natalie.

The training inspired questions around event planning:
• An email list for RSVPs can be created
• Website provides the ability to determine the types of members allowed to buy tickets
• When creating an event on the website, it may be helpful to duplicate and edit a previous event
• A key feature is the ability to create a “wait list” for events
