APECS is happy to announce that over the coming months we will have two contractors helping us restructure and streamline our website to be more informative and helpful to both new and experience APECS members alike.
As many people reading this article will know, the APECS website is central to the international mission of the organization. We use it to collect & distribute information, collaborate, communicate, and share. What you may not know is that it has been almost entirely created and maintained by self-taught APECS members. As APECS has grown over the past 5 years. So has our website, and the time has come for a bit of evaluation, realignment, and improvement.
Brooks Patton, based in Alaska will be our web guru - helping us get the most functionality out of the APECS site and fix technical issues. Brooks has extensive experience building website and we communities using the same system that the APECS site is based on. Look forward to a new site template and more possibilities for APECS members to connect to each other through the site! Working alongside Brooks will be Carolyn Rosner. Carolyn comes to us from Nevada with experience structuring and maintaining other large Arctic-oriented websites. She will be auditing the site's organization and helping us make sure the APECS website is structured so that new members can find out what APECS has to offer and experienced APECS members can find the pages they are looking for.
Welcome, Brooks & Carolyn, and good luck! If APECS members & visitors have any thoughts or suggestions for improving apecs.is, as always feel free to contact us and let us know.
