About the Chamber - Website Updates

The new website officially launched in a skeletal state late in the evening of December 31st, 2008. Most of January was spent on behind-the-scenes work including migrating and sanitizing the member database (in preparation for updating the Member List), implementing security enhancements, making the site higher ranked by search engines, implementing site statistics, implementing backups, and  creating documentation.  Content that was migrated from the old site is currently being refreshed and new content is being created.  Most importantly, the member directory is about to be refreshed using an updated database of information derived from a proto-type Customer Relationship Management application. This will happen by February 21st. Thank you for your patience during our data clean-up and migration, the move will greatly reduce administrative overhead going forward, and allow for quick turn-around of changes to on-site member information. Other site enhancements include the use of Google Calendar, besides being web-editable, it allows for mapping of the calendar event location and event reminder notification.
