Enhancing Branch Communication
By Robert Wakefield
Middle Tennessee Branch 32 President

If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard a member ask, “When’s the next meeting?” or “How often do we meet?” or “I wish I’d known earlier,” I’d have $22.30. Nickels don’t accumulate that fast, but you get the point.

At Middle Tennessee Branch 32, we strive to communicate in every imaginable way. We’ve got an award-winning website, napsbranch32.org, a newsletter called Crickets we send via email and regular emails to most of our members.

For two years, we sent out two blogs every week: Saturday CuppaJoe and Sunday CoffeeCake. We even have a text message service to notify members of upcoming meetings. Communication is vital. To keep our organization vibrant, we must reach our members in various ways.

We now are introducing our latest communication tool—a podcast. The Saturday CuppaJoe podcast is for all EAS employees, whether you’re part of our branch or not. It’s just another way to get our message out to the members.

I invite you all to subscribe to the Saturday CuppaJoe podcast wherever you get your podcasts. I hope you’ll make it interactive by emailing me at saturdaycuppajoe(@)gmail.com.
