Attending today: Scott Abel, Bob Doyle, Christine Pierpont, Theresa Regli, Laura Walker
Action Items
Scott and Bob will research XML Calendar options to extend the current CM Pros Calendar (now syndicated from CMS Review) to include other organizations events, specifically STC. This will extend recognition of CM Pros. XML press release technologies are NewsML and RSS (Prism now outdated?)
The Press Releases blog that was opposed by some many months ago should be revisited. Please look at http://www.cmprosold.org/press/blog.html. It can already do RSS, and may satisfy Scott's needs.
Laura will ask all members to tell us where and when they have speaking engagements. We will add their presentations to our calendar and ask them to use a CM Pros info slide at the end of their talk. Laura will create a draft of that slide. Theresa's Seybold talks are already in Calendar. We could add her workshops?
Scott and Laura will assemble a spreadsheet on these presentations and events to follow up in future years.
Members with links to CM Pros will get a tiny hyperlink to their site in lower right of CM Pros home page. This will improve their Search Engine rankings. If more members add our logo, it will improve our rankings.
Laura will share responses from new members to her three feedback questions (by cc to the MC and to the membership@cmprofessionals.org mailbox).
Member Survey should be examined for similar marketing info, and reevaluated for another attempt to survey all members. Little use was made of the existing survey. Only question 5 was analyzed by Ann and Erik for the Board priorities, policies, procedures discussions (which fizzled out). So we should not invent a new wheel until we try to make use of the the existing survey, which auto analyzes new data added incrementally. We could fine tune the questions.

Summit publicity - next week, Laura and Scott
Bob will train Christine to enter resources into the Resource Library. Bob and Christine will work through Theresa's list of websites, with comments prepared by her deputy.
Bob, Christine, Theresa's deputy, other volunteers? will look through the Glossary and identify the few dozen entries with inadequate definitions. We need to divide this work up. e.g., Christine A-M, Bob N-Z, or more divisions if volunteers. The deputy, others, and/or Bob will draft new definitions by end of September.
A new CM Pros Bookshelf page will feature pictures and comments about critical books, with links to Amazon that exploit our Amazon Affiliate program to get commissions on sales. Scott says a general Amazon link on the page may earn us commissions on other Amazon purchases by our members.
