Please Welcome Lynnette Siaradzki, Our New Project Coordinator
We are pleased to announce that Info Line has hired Lynnette Siaradzki as Coordinator for Project Connect. Her many duties will include registering staff for classes, answering the technical support hotline, and working with you to improve your use of technology and connectivity. Siaradzki, a graduate from the University of Connecticut, has spent the last 12 years in technology support. She has conducted technology instruction for many local businesses in the Cleveland and Akron areas. She managed and supervised operations for a consulting company which provided technology education solutions for customers in the Columbus area. She coordinated and ran a helpdesk and training implementation project for a company in Kent. Most recently, she worked with primary school teachers in a local district to incorporate technology training into their classroom curriculum. As her background indicates, Lynnette brings with her a strong set of technology skills and a great enthusiasm for nonprofit support. She is sure to push Project Connect forward in new directions. We hope you get to work with her in the near future.

Testing a New Listserv Program You might notice one major difference in this update: no advertising!! We have just purchased a new server and software to host our own listservs and we are testing it now. Please let us know what you think and if you encounter any problems with this message. Thanks!!
Now's a Good Time to Think Membership! Project Connect Membership offers nonprofit organizations the opportunity to receive full benefit from all the services that Project Connect offers.
We think that the most valuable benefit is the technical support hotline. So much time is wasted by trying to find the best way to do something ... when an e-mail or a phone call can get to the heart of the problem and let your staff spend time on more important things! Please consider this an integral part of your operations! Membership is inexpensive and can easily be justified by the benefits received:
If you have any questions about how the program can benefit your organization, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or 330-315-1335. |
