Dear Readers,
The Summer 2016 edition of interaktiv – the “Did You Know” issue – is now available for download. Click here to download your own personal copy. (Find past issues here.)
Did you know that ATA membership has something in common with Microsoft Office? It comes with many more features than you are probably aware of.
I recently had a conversation with a former ATA Board member about communicating with the membership. She told me: “It’s frustrating when you hear, ‘I wish ATA was on Twitter.’ When ATA IS on Twitter.”
It’s an ongoing discussion within ATA. How can we communicate better and reach more members? ATA communicates via many channels: The ATA Chronicle, ATA Newsbriefs, the ATA website and social media. We know we can’t reach everyone, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try. That conversation sparked the idea for this Summer 2016 issue of interakiv – the “Did You Know” issue. Though the GLD newsletter has always been a communications medium, this is the first issue to feature a number of ATA member benefits. So don’t miss a page – you might learn something new!
