Membership Benefits: Two questions

[moyerm]

1) How can FAHE better serve and engage the interests of its individual
members, especially those who are unable to attend the annual
conference?

2) How can FAHE better serve the interests of its institutional
members?

I do not have much to say at this point about question two. In regard
to question one, I think that the communication made possible by the
Internet could be used to real advantage. I woke up this morning with
this thought: I would enjoy having a means of finding and communicating
with Quaker peers in academia who have similar interests--including
interests outside my academic field. I know there are web based
programs designed to do this for various specific needs--I wonder if
this could be done for a specific group such as FAHE from its own
website.

I agree with what Mike says here:

I think it is very exciting how we can use the web to facilitate
communication and sharing between FAHE conferences! I look forward to
seeing how much this idea might catch on as we open up interactive web
options!
