  13. Communication Survey Results What is the most frustrating communication problem for you as a SUM? - Incomplete and/or inconsistent information - Webinars review very basic stuff over and over - Exchange of info from GSGLA is not consistent. Add a SUM corner with a code to the GSGLA website - Communication with other SUMs - As a new SUM, I need guidance on what is an efficient communication method. Need direct access to all troops on eBiz. - SUM meeting should be once a month - Council training updates - Gold Award info - Waiting for leaders’ concern to be addressed, not hearing about conclusion and leaving leader feeling unsupported

  14. Communication Survey Results Question 2: • What is the most frustrating communication problem for your SU team?

  15. Communication Survey Results What is the most frustrating communication problem for your SU team? - Position requirements change without notice - Not being able to add SU events to GSGLA’s master calendar - Not enough classes - Not receiving confirmation of received messages - After policies in place, need answers yet staff doesn’t have answers - Not being able to determine if facility is available before submitting a reservation; this has improve but better if online - No additional information for positions; webinar was not enough

  16. Communication Survey Results Question 3: • What is the most frustrating communication problem for your leaders?

  17. Communication Survey Results What is the most frustrating communication problem for your leaders? - As a leader, need dates for large events and trainings 6 months in advance - Leaders don’t have time to search on Web - How does an adult find trainings on eBiz? - Lack of communication when events are cancelled - Council seems absent; issues do not get resolved - Need communication (direct email) specifically for older girls - Troop families do not check eBiz or Shutterfly - Getting into eBiz and calendar

  18. Communication Survey Results Question 4: What is the most effective communication method used within your SU? #1 Email (40) #2 Website (18) ex. SU website, Wiki, Yahoo Group, Shutterfly #3 Leader meetings (11)

  22. What We Have Done Thus Far! • GSGLA website improved pages for volunteers • Separate buttons for new and current volunteers • Improved Resources and Tools page – See ‘Places to Go Chart’ from the EOA Go Team • GSGLA online calendar now has council-wide service unit and troop events included • ‘What’s New’ on the GSGLA home page now features new forms such as the Special Events and Money Earning e-form and new surveys for cookie program and property criteria.

  23. What is in the Works? • New FAQ sheet with all FAQs together • New staff functional directory that will list who does what • New service unit team position – Communication Coordinator

  24. Why a Communication Coordinator? • One person to coordinate it all! • Assist the SUM and SU team – recruit experts to help • Gather SU information and disperse in different ways • Gather GSGLA information and disperse in different ways • Maintain the SU website, if there is one • Learn about all types of communication tools and educate the SU on their use • Be the SU contact person for publicity and PR in your community- with staff help • Uniquely yours! • Contact the Communication Go Team or Cindy: goteams@girlscoutsla.org • Contact GSGLA Communications Staff or Melanie: communications@girlscoutsla.org
