My question/commment was: There is a discussion ongoing with the
Board on publicity/promotion within the USGenWeb Project in regard to
it's presence and promotion in both online and off-line venues.

I would be interested in hearing your thoughts, experiences, and ideas
on this topic.

Tina,

With respect to the USGenWeb presence to the "outside" world, one
thought I've had since the end of the elections is: Why aren't we
sending an announcement of the new National Coordinator and new
Advisory Board to organizations with which we interact directly or
indirectly. For example, Rootsweb/Ancestory.com, Genealogy.com,
National/State Historic Societies, Family History Center, DAR and
other membership organizations, etc. If we keep our name in front of
these "folks" they may eventually get to know that we are an
independent stand-alone organization.

Corporations, governments, and other organizations make these kinds of
announcements in newspapers every day. Simple, direct, and to the
point.

Just a Friday night thought.
