Process
Sources
Gather your list of changes that need to be made to the membership database:
- review any e-mails you may have received about updates
- Review the call-out list in the membership binder for changes
- Review the personnel records in the membership binder
- Review decisions of the board about membership statuses and newly approved members
- Any changes (e.g. an applicant becoming an associate member) should be added, not deleting the old membership information. This is a requirement of the Alberta Society Act.
- Collect the sign-in sheets from PCSAR incidents and events
- These may be passed directly to the Membership Coordinator/Administrator by the event organizer / Search Manager
- Some sheets may be left in the Membership Binder
- Rope Rescue and Swiftwater Rescue trainings are recorded in a binder marked "Joint Rope Rescue" on the ground floor of the Fire Hall in a bookshelf opposite the door to the washroom.
- Some committees record their attendance in the meeting records:
Edit existing records
Edit the membership records on the secure part of the wiki.
- existing membership records
- See formatting instructions for the kinds of changes to make.
- Attended a course
New Members and Applicants
- new members or applicants should be added in a similar fashion, namely
- If information on the new member is received by e-mail, print it.
- Place the original form or the printed e-mail in the membership binder. Keep it there until the personnel record is printed to replace it. That way if there is a delay in printing, the member can continue to update this draft document.
- On your personal page, or in a Sandbox add the line:
-
* {{member|John Doe}}
- using the person's name instead of
John Doe
.
-
- Follow the link to the new member's page. You should be in the edit box, with a blank template ready to be filled in.
- Fill in the information and save the page.
Activities
Add any newly recorded activities to the Activities page.
Notification
