Learning to Connect
An informative web page training session was held at the IAM District boardroom on October 3-5, 2017 led by Brother Frank Saptel, IAMAW National Communications Director. Info sharing using WordPress was had by Brother Leo Manrique of Local 2734, Sister Lori Fairbrother of Local 1722, Brother Glenn Killips of Local 1722 and Sister Barb Makey of District 14 to keep the membership updated on current events.
What’s New?
Web training:
On April 23rd and 24th of 2014 Frank Saptel (Grand Lodge Communications Representative) from Toronto was in Edmonton at the District 14 office instructing Jim Burden (President of LL1681), Rob Nolan (Recording Secretary & Communicator of LL1681), Ryan Ermet (Trustee of Distrcit 14), Barb Makey (District 14 Administrative Assistant) and Dan Uchaz (District 14 Business Representative) on basic web design and the transformation to the “Word Press” platform. Websites have proven to be a very good tool in communicating with our memberships and we would like to thank Frank for making the trip out west to broaden our knowledge and help ensure that our websites continue to be a valuable asset to the membership.
