The Volunteer Chapter is currently soliciting proposals for management of our
local chapter membership data base. The data base manager would be responsible
for working with the membership chair to maintain a current local list (about
115 names) to be used for chapter mailings, lists and reports. Information
would include names, current position, current addresses, phone and e-mail
information, and information on how the member prefers to be contacted. It
would also involve maintaining a list of about 200 prospective member
addresses. We have an electronic listing from PRSA's national office and from
our current mailing service to work from. The data base must be created and
maintained in a commonly available software program such as Microsoft Works.
This is an ongoing responsibility, so we prefer someone who will be in the
area for a long period of time. The data base administrator does not have to
be a chapter member, but preference will be given to chapter members. For more
information, e-mail Susan Barnes at [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask]
Or you can submit a proposal, stating the estimated hours and per hour charge
for setting up the data base, a flat monthly fee and per name charge for data
base maintenance, and a per name charge for generating labels and handling
chapter mailings. We will also be more than happy to entertain proposals for
pro bono service. Written proposals must be submitted no later than close of
business Friday, April 23.
