- We will need to negotiate a clear mandate with the board to answer that question
Board has asked if the marketing committee we would like to be in charge of a website reboot?
- Yes
website discussion
- user-focused website
- RFP for external party, rather than rely on volunteer labour
- Expectation for $50k based on similar projects
