Fellow Toastmasters with the skills and frills we list below: Join our website support team! We need:

• Website development help—Build and assure quality, and harness Web technologies appropriately
• Drupal help—Help our site be its best by learning about and using Drupal, our content management system (CMS)
• Library sciences help—Keep our stuff well organized
• Editors and moderators for content—Assure standards

Whether you have the expertise already or have firm plans to acquire certain skills, if you will commit to help us, stick to agreed time frames (usually generous, sometimes tight), and use online tools to collaborate, then your time and talent will give back richly to your fellow Toastmasters! Is that a persuasive pitch! Just write a note TODAY to volunteer@d40toastmasters.org and let us know how you can help!

OUR VISION

We aim to divide and conquer our website maintenance and upgrade work (content and technology) in prioritized, logical sequences. We work independently at times and as teams at other times. While it is essential that in our group we have competency to "get to the finish line," to quickly solve the technology challenges of the moment and to complete tasks adeptly, as Toastmasters we also keep in mind not only the Toastmasters Promise but also we value particularly:

• A basic openness to communicate and document root causes and fixes as needed
• The free sharing of lessons learned in a clear, concise, professional way with fellow team members
• A basic attitude of "under-promise/ over-deliver" in order to serve our District 40 constituency, and
• A willingness to work on the "challenge of the day/ week/ month/ year" with professionalism, that is...
  • To sally forth with a positive attitude at all times, and
  • To the best of one's ability, balance other life priorities with volunteer work in order to meet commitments and complete tasks within agreed time frames.
