5. INTERNAL COMMUNICATIONS

Each group communicates via its own e-mail based distribution list. Activity on the lists is often high, ranging from six to eight posts per week. A distribution list is also in place for the general BCN Community--those who have expressed an interest in being informed about new activities, events and opportunities. Meetings for each of the above groups takes place once per month on designated Monday evenings. The average length of a meeting is two hours, and the distribution lists serve well in providing meeting agendas and minutes to all members.

5.1 Lessons Learned: Communications

1. Since much of the volunteer coordination and activities is conducted via the distribution lists described above, volunteers with very busy schedules and little time for periodic meetings have been able to participate to the level that their time allows. However, our volunteer pool is largely limited to those with Internet access. We are working to develop alternative methods of communication among volunteers in order to include a broader spectrum of the community.
