As most of you have probably noticed, the previous edition of the Volunteers Newsletter for Spring 2009 had been published online, instead of the much more expensive prior paper format.
Besides the new medium and format of the newsletter, the editorial team – Gosia Clark, Cami Welsh-Griffith and Joan Elder are extremely happy to announce the development of an entirely new volunteers’ website – Nevada Museum of Art Volunteers in Art: http://nmavolunteersinart.org/. The goal of the website is to provide information, help make the volunteering experience rewarding and enriching as well as create a platform for NMA volunteers’ communication and stimulate community interaction.
In order to achieve these goals, the website will soon offer a variety of new features such as: calendar for upcoming events with a sign-up functionality, a gallery for uploading and exchanging pictures, automatic reminders, volunteers’ blog and comment wall, in addition to archives of past newsletters. The editorial team has just recently added a page dedicated to the VIA Council – NMA Volunteers in Art governing body. This is where you will find information about the VIA Council, its members, upcoming meetings and matters pertaining to allocation of Volunteers’ funds. As the VIA Council actively contributes to the art collection of the Museum, a separate page will be devoted to introduce and present art purchases made with volunteers’ fund raisers.
Please let us know about YOUR ideas for this website (contact@nmavolunteersinart.org), as we would like to make sure it is useful and informative.
