Although COL Riedler was not on this call, Iggi stated, that he had sent our Department Membership Roster / Info. to COL Kevin Riedler for planning purposes.

DEPARTMENT WEBSITE UPDATES

Iggi discussed his ability to post current info and photos to our website. ROA National may be adjusting their National Website / Pages in the future, to improve readability and ease of access to ROA's On-Line MEMBERSHIP APPICATION. Many Departments NOW have established their own independent websites and do not need to utilize all of the functions of ROA's HQ web-pages. Mike Moose mentioned that OUR URL-DIRECT Link, to OUR Department's website, is NOW posted on the National Website !!

This will improve all members and potential members web-access, to see OUR current Department Info quickly and easily.
