XII. Discussions / Decisions o Jane Evans, Louisville Arts Association (LAA), presented the online Volunteer Spot -> volunteerspot.com. Most LCC members liked the free website to ask the public to volunteer for specific jobs at specific events. Once events are set up in the system, then activities can be defined by description, date, length of time and number of volunteers requested. Then when volunteers sign up for jobs, the system automatically updates the volunteer list, sends a reminder email or robotic telephone call, and can be used for thank you notes as well. o Jane Evans, LAA, presented their new website -> louisvilleart.org, new logo and how their website has integrated the volunteerspot.com link for easy sign up by the public. Their webmaster is Hong and she used Joomla to allow LAA members to modifiy sections of the website without having to contact Hong. This makes quick updates for upcoming events and other activities easy to manage on the website. One possible problem is that the LCC website is louisvillearts.org. o The City website plans an update as well. o Darin volunteered to take the lead on the LCC website and newsletter modifications and process updates. LCC members will need to work together to determine how the website will work and how upcoming events will be added to the website. o Jill Clateman, Old Town Cinema, discussed the challenges of putting on a movie event inside and outside. Chris volunteered to work with Jill to see how the LCC can assist.
