Your Board of Directors
Posted: Wed Sep 24, 2014 6:25 am
Dear Members
We want to introduce ourselves, the current Members of the Board, to you. This is an important step forward for us, but one that we believe will help show you that we are all in this together.
Please understand that our names have been withheld for reasons of privacy.
• Chair - I joined as a member in 2009, became a Moderator in 2010 and then joined the Board in 2011. My background is in Primary Education.
• Vice-Chair - I joined as a member in 2005, became a Moderator in 2009 and was then elected to serve on the Board in 2012. In my daily life, I design courses and help to guide young people in their careers for a small college.
• Treasurer - I have never been a member of isurvive. I have a background in banking and finance and was invited to become the Treasurer in 2011.
• Secretary – I came to isurvive in 2009, became a Moderator in 2012 and joined the Board as secretary that same year. My background is in marketing and advertising but I am currently a full-time mom.
• Communication Committee Chair – I came here in 2011. I am a science teacher in a college and while obtaining my Masters in Public Administration, I was required to pick an organization to get to know and work with. I picked isurvive because they were so helpful and inspirational for my sister in her healing. I have never been a member, but have given my heart to them for how wonderful isurvive is.
• Moderator Representative - This position is rotated within the Moderating Team on a yearly basis.
• Member Representative - I joined as a member in 2008 and was invited to join the board in 2014. I have a background in health care.
• Honorary Member – Has connections with the organisation which span many years, receives the minutes of all meetings and is kept up to date with news.
We meet every 3 months via an acceptable web-based conferencing medium (currently UberConference)
- our goal is to continuously find ways to improve your user experience and safety, as well as to keep the site as helpful and engaging as possible.
Some of the things that we have accomplished include:
● A new interface for the forums
● Several new and protected forums for different groups in our membership
● Moderator representation on the Board
● Member representation on the Board
● Additional moderators for the forums
● Enhanced communication with the Board of Directors through the addition of a Board-specific email
● An upgrade to a dedicated server which; increased the speed performance, ensured greater security and reduced traffic issues
● Production of isurvive.org business cards to help reach more people
● The addition of Google Translate
We are currently seeking new suggestions and ways in which we can improve the site for you.
Please send us an email (boardofdirectors@isurvive.org) or post here if you have ideas for our community.
Thank you for reading.
