Here’s an idea, from the BloggerCon:
Blog all the VAR meetings. From the Policy Board to the PPAG to the IMAG …
Set up a blog, based on WordPress, within the VAR site and give each committee, Workgroup, Advocacy Group, etc. their own category. It would all be password-protected. Members may subscribe to the entire blog or just the categories that interest them. Explain what “Your Virginia” means. Give members insight into the direction VAR is going.
Embrace transparency. Seek it out. Provide members with the information they seek (or put it out there in the hope and expectation that the information’s availability will provide them the impetus to get involved).

Fantastic idea. I trust Ben will help get this set up, and perhaps we can try to identify one or more people in each group to be the designated contributor to the blog. I am more than willing to be the contributor in the groups where I am involved.
This will certainly be a novel, and easy way for Virginia Realtors to stay connected to the work and decisions of the many levels of VAR’s leadership!
