Early last month we were incredibly pleased to roll out not just a new website, but an upgrade of many of the association’s online services. The selection and implementation of the new association management system has been a process almost three years in the making. In conjunction with that, the new website was created in about eight months. It has taken many staff and volunteer hours of work to bring these items to fruition, and I thank everyone involved for their dedication to the projects. WHEN BOTH So what do these new resources mean for the ACUHO-I membership? First of all, it means INDIVIDUALS AND we will have more information available to us. When both individuals and organizations ORGANIZATIONS complete their online profiles (and if you haven’t completed yours yet, you should do so ASAP), we will better understand the demographics and competencies of our people as well as the COMPLETE THEIR offerings and features of our campuses. In addition, the new system means we can offer a ONLINE PROFILES . more robust membership directory as well as smoother registration and renewal processes. WE WILL BETTER It’s now easier to view committee membership as well as a history of individual membership UNDERSTAND THE engagement. As for the website, the new design makes information easier to find and sets the stage for DEMOGRAPHICS the continued growth of resources and information to be delivered straight to our members’ AND COMPETENCIES desktops whenever they need it. It also includes enhanced new features such as an online OF OUR PEOPLE suggestion box where you can contact the Executive Board, as well as a map that shows the AS WELL AS THE location of every ACUHO-I member institution. It is literally the world of campus housing. OFFERINGS AND But we are not finished yet. In the coming months you will continue to see new life being given to our online presence, both big and small.
