SKY Gets (Even More) Digital

You may have noticed that SKY's website and emails have undergone a bit of a refresh over the summer. I'd like to share a little more information on the changes we've made as well as the changes to come.

Since early summer, a fearless group of SKY Directors has been working with former Tunstall Bay Community Association (TBCA) President and technology pro Jennifer Strutt to migrate the SKY website, email and member database to a new platform. As she has recently done similar work with the TBCA, Jennifer presented the SKY board with an opportunity to create:

1. an interactive and mobile friendly website

2. a communications platform and reservation system

3. an event calendar and ticketing system

4. a secure e-commerce platform to manage member data and payments.

The main driver of this decision was the departure from the board of Jeanine Z and her right-hand person Gerold, who were managing all of the SKY technology and data for many years. (Thank-you again for your tireless service, Jeanine and Gerold!) In recognition of the significant amount of work they both carried on behalf of SKY, the new platform is helping us to distribute and share specific administrative and technical duties amongst the board members.

You will be hearing more about particular parts of the new platform in the coming days and weeks as we begin to post digital versions of our newsletter stories, send invitations to SKY events and begin our annual collection of member dues.

We look forward to these new ways of connecting with you!

With warmest regards,

Linda Hurlburt

President, SKY on Bowen Island
