Involved in continuing ed? Here's news of a new service

I'm writing to invite your participation in the inauguration of UCEA's new online
membership service: UCEAConnect.

The address is: http://connect.ucea.edu.

UCEAConnect offers a new opportunity for members to interact with each other via
Association-wide blogs/discussions, personal blogs, and podcasts. Each member
maintains a profile page and can have his or her own photo album. In particular,
the site offers opportunities for members to discuss issues of relevance to specific
Association groups, such as Regions or Communities of Practice, as well as topics of
interest to the Association at-large.

UCEAConnect also will enable committees, Commissioners, and other Association groups
to conduct private conversations. A File Library will make resources from past
conferences and meetings readily available to members. The site also includes an
Association Calendar, a handy way to see all upcoming association dates for
conferences, award nomination deadlines, and more.

There are two documents we've written that you can download to help you along: a
short piece on How to Register, and the UCEAConnect Quick Start Guide. I hope that
these will be helpful to you. Both of these are linked from the main page at
http://connect.ucea.edu and are also available by clicking on the File Library menu
item. We will also be conducting a webinar soon on using UCEAConnect, and will let
you know when it is scheduled. This information will also be posted on
http://connect.ucea.edu so visit the site for announcements.

Should you have any questions on the new site or wish to offer feedback, please
contact UCEA's Webmaster, Mark Richer, at mricher@ucea.edu.

Thank you for taking part in UCEAConnect!
