Keeping members informed and up-to-date on Association business is important to us at Central Office. Members will be pleased to know that work is underway to launch a new website within the next few months.

In discussions with Central Office staff and based on the feedback members provided in our recent Communications Survey, we have now identified key features and functionality for our new NWTTA website.

It is important for our new site to:

• Support members needs in regards to content and ease of use
• Enable efficiency and effectiveness for office personnel

One of the major improvements were looking forward to having is immediate and direct access to upgrade and modify the site ourselves. The site-based content management system will eliminate the costs and time-delays currently associated with changes on our website.

We ask for your patience and support over the next few months as we work to see our new site up and running as soon as possible. During this time new posts to our current website will be fewer and we will be relying more on email and fax to provide information updates.

In the meantime, know that I am working, together with Central Office staff, to provide you, our members, with the best services and support available. Do not hesitate to contact me with your questions, concerns or suggestions.

Thank you for the work you do in NWT schools and classrooms. Northern students are fortunate to have high caliber, caring and committed professionals working with them each day. I salute your dedication to ensure NWT students receive the best education possible.
