Communication Discussion - October 2005

 
The exchange of information and ideas is a benefit of belonging to an organization, as well as a means to personal and organizational growth.

Within IFUW communication takes place in many ways, and at several levels. It is an objective of the IFUW leadership to improve the methods used by the members to communicate with each other.

During October 2005, a special discussion on communication within IFUW is taking place in the IFUW Connections Network. Click here to subscribe.

Week 2 - Communicating within National Federations and Associations

The following are questions that relate to information flow and topic exchange within your association or federation -- please indicate your country when responding. If you are an independent member, indicate how you keep connected with university women within your country.

Internal communication pose a real challenge for many national affiliates, especially those in countries where branches and members are far apart. National and international news does not always reach the individual members. Getting feedback from branches and individual members can also be a problem.

  • What are the methods of communicating within your association or federation that works the best in disseminating information to the members?
     
  • How could communication be improved within your association or federation?
     
  • What suggestions do you have for tools or training by IFUW that might help your association or federation improve connections among the members?
