It was astounding to see our web hits per month go from 300,000 to over 1,100,000 as the contract negotiations proceeded. The web truly became a mainstream vehicle for PEF to communicate with its membership and the outside world. Add to this our massive e-mailing and mobilizing campaigns and PEF was able to communicate to its membership as never before. Watch for future improvements in member mobilizing, news dispersion, data collection, and interactivity from our web site in the coming year. Videoconferencing continues to be available at all field offices as well as PEF headquarters.
Usage continues to grow as staff become more accustomed to using the system.
And Beyond MIS has accomplished all this despite a change in half our staff, where our previous Director and Computer Programmer left PEF to pursue other opportunities. MIS remains a four-person department comprised of the MIS Director, an Information Systems Technician, a Systems Analyst and a Coordinator. Our goals are to continue and improve on MIS past leadership and service. Our core objective is to facilitate the transmission of information in all its various forms to meet the needs of the organization and its membership as efficiently and effectively as possible. We now have the technology and know-how to accomplish this.
