Membership Database/Editing
From PCSAR
The Membership Database is edited by Adam Grose. Other people that have done this task: Brett Wuth, BobCosta.
He uses
- the changes that members make to their personnel record sheets at regular meetings
- event/course sign-in sheets which are passed to him
- individual changes which are e-mailed to him.
Process
Edit the membership records on the secure part of the wiki.
- existing membership records
- new members or applicants should be added in a similar fashion, namely
- create a new page called "
Members:John Doe
", using the person's name instead ofJohn Doe
. Note that the first part of the nameMembers:
is plural (with an 's'), because we want it to be stored on the part of the wiki that only members can view. - Copy the contents from an existing member and edit it to match the new member
- Use the "edit" view of the existing member, so you copy everything
- create a new page called "
- Activities lists the activities we have had
- update membership statuses
- 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.
- check list of newly approved members
- review any e-mailed updates (done to 23:47, 28 February 2011 (UTC))
- Review Brett's copy of the call-out list
- Review the call-out list in the membership binder
