The Communications and Membership Committee purpose is twofold, to expand the awareness of the work of AHNA among the residents and members of the AH community and to allow these same people a convenient means of communicating their concerns and ideas for improving AH to AHNA and through AHNA to one another. Since its inception, AHNA has used monthly meetings as a way to achieve this goal, but clearly with limited success. In that same time period the world has embraced digital media and there are many ways to communicate today that did not exist when AHNA was founded. It is the task of this committee to make use of these means to expand the reach and amplify the efforts of AHNA.
Our first effort in this direction has been the establishment of AHNA News & Views, a monthly email newsletter that summarizes the efforts and issues of AHNA and its committees for that month. This has been in publication since November 2011 and has received a warm welcome from many of its subscribers.
Our second effort is communicate to the broader community of Asylum Hill to insure awareness of AHNA and to help recruit more volunteers to our activities and increase membership.
