Letter from the Tenth District Information Technology Chair
Greetings, Brothers! My name is LeMarr T. Ketchens, I, and I have been re-appointed as your District Information Technology Chair for the Fiscal Year 2009-10. I was initiated into this great organization in the Spring - 1987, on the campus of Western Illinois University (Macomb, IL) - Epsilon Beta Chapter. There were six of us to start and six of us to complete - I am the "4". Enough about me. Below are a few things I'd like for you and your chapters to consider.
Every chapter has been issued a chapter email address via the IHQ. It will look like chaptername@oppf.org. The chapter KRS must contact IHQ to gain access to this email account. If you don't have access to your chapter email address, please get it up and running because that seems to be the method of communication from the IHQ.
Committee Chairs: Going forward, I "EXPECT" every chair, whether you're functioning regularly or not to submit your committee introduction letter. This letter will be posted (in HTML Form) for each Chair (via the Officers Page).
Websites: Chapters with websites "need" to make sure that the data on the websites is up to date and/or current. It would be a great idea to get the links to me for posting to the District Website. Every chapter in the Tenth District should put in the time to create a public online calendar using the free online calendar that the district uses; Smart Calendar. This is located at: http://smartcal.com. The Tenth District has a list serve available for all FINANCIAL members of the Tenth District. Please contact me for details.
Email: Brothers, we should attempt to periodically check your email accounts. It makes no sense to give your email address to someone if you don't plan to check it. All of the brothers need to have a functioning email address. Yahoo! (http://mail.yahoo.com/) or Google (http://mail.google.com/) are free accounts that I would recommend.
Lastly, there is a software package that allows any printable document to be converted into an Adobe .pdf file. (http://pdf995.com). Use this to save your documents for archival.
Fraternally,
Brother LeMarr T. Ketchens
