Chapter Unveils New Website, Newsletters and Social Media
In April the chapter unveiled its new website at SNCAGO.org (and SNCAGO.com). The site is modeled like a news magazine and features a great deal of new and expanded content, an increased use of visuals and a host of new capabilities.
The new site makes use of new technologies and abilities to help us expand our audience and engagement and to move us forward in the digital age, but we didn’t want to let go of our past. The site documents a great deal of the chapter’s history and we will continue to record and document our activities.
Please spend some time with the new website and come back often. It will constantly change, add new content and photos. We’ll do our best to keep it timely and updated.
We want your input. The site is a service for our members. If you would like added features, have a submission, correction or just to express your point of view, please reach out via email. (Send to info@sncago.org)
