Maximizing Union Website Power

(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
Dozens of webmasters from area union locals gathered at the AFL-CIO early Friday morning to learn how to get the most out of their local union websites. The training – hosted by the Metro Council and the International Labor Communications Association – gave attendees simple tips for keeping website content current and interesting, understanding your target audiences, using your website to mobilize your membership, best practice examples of union websites from across the country, and other issues. Future trainings will be scheduled for local unions that missed Friday’s training or are looking to start a new website.
