Member Spotlight Our Thanks To ‘Web Savant’ Colleen Brathwaite   The Chapter extends great thanks to Board Member Colleen Brathwaite for leading and guiding the complete rebuilding of its website during the last quarter of 2009.  The goal of this ambitious project was to refresh the site, and at the same time, provide a platform that would enable the chapter to: Manage and enable self-administered updates to communicate more frequently with chapter members and prospects Use it to generate revenue by running ads and listings in the agency and resource directories  Cut costs by eliminating the need for paid web maintenance Have a flexible platform that could be enhanced over time. Colleen achieved these goals and more, as we can see by touring the new site, which went live on January 4, 2010.  She researched and evaluated several products from different web design companies and, based on a comparative analysis, recommended Star Chapter, which had begun to build a number of websites for PRSA chapters.  The price was reasonable and the speed of site development was great, since Star Chapter was able to take what was on the old site and move it to their platform.  The finished site features all the capabilities the Chapter wanted, the platform is easy to use and the site was built in less than two months.  Great job, Colleen! The Member Spotlight reflects the diversity of our members, highlighting them both personally and professionally, whether they work in-house or for an agency, for a big public relations team or work solo.  To recommend chapter members, please contact Ellie Becker, Membership Chair, at members@prsa-wf.org.
