First Class Workshop Friday
Hello all,
As promised, below is a general outline for the training planned for late Friday afternoon. I truly believe that as this organization begins to expand in functions, projects, support etc. it will become more and more difficult to rely strictly on the current email back and forth. First Class can provide us all with the tools and applications built into the program to facilitate collaboration and communication.
I would urge you to attend if at all possible. It will be very difficult if only a percentage of our representatives use First Class while others choose to go in different directions. I think you will find when all of us are talking in one area, our productivity will just move forward in leaps and bounds. (In fact we might even figure out a way to achieve consensus about that logo for those Jackets Peter has in his back room :))))
See you all on Friday
If you have the opportunity prior to Friday to download the FC client on your laptop, please do so.
and get the client for your platform.
We will have to adjust the server from fc.firstclass.com to fc.learningnetworks.com but we can take care of that at the workshop.
Also if you happen to get there a few minutes early, we can make sure that accounts for your State reps are in order
