However, only 5 districts have this type of staff person. Sending time sensitive information needing director action to an District mailbox, or a partner-shared office that has no specific RCD staff is ineffective. If it is important enough to require action, then e-mail, fax, phone or send a letter to the directors. Otherwise the postage is wasted since the RCD will probably meet too late to respond to the action request if it is received through the office mail. E-mail is the most cost effective and fastest and involves the least time.
Fax is quite cost effective, and requires much less time to accomplish than mail.
Direct mail is the least efficient method of communicating requiring the most time and incurring the highest cost. If you want a response from an RCD, then you have to contact the directors. At this point in time, all communications methods are in use by the Team to varying degrees. Ideally, all directors would have either email or a fax. One step the Team has taken is sorting out the technological capabilities of each district.
