The 2008 IATG committee are delighted to announce the launch of our 'new look' IATG website. We hope that all members and visitors to the site will find it user friendly, attractive and inviting. The site has many new and improved features, such as:
- More detailed search capabilities for employers looking for guides.
- Enhanced information of guide capabilities to find the best match of employer to guide.
- Corporate members will have increased advertising exposure via use of banners and will be encouraged to link our IATG site to their own websites.
- Professional members will be able to promote their skills by adding their own personal web page - referred to as a "Profile Page" - enabling them to present themselves in the best professional light without the expense of running an independent website. The page will be linked to their membership listing and will allow them to include a personalised website address on their business cards. They will also be able to use their web page to promote products and services that they recommend for quality and value.
- The committee will be highlighted on the website, so members will know who they are and what they do.
- Current member discounts, offers and industry promotions will be listed - members will be able to check at any time what offers are available to them.
- We have added the extra option of 'PayPal' to enable convenient online payment for events, membership renewals and other areas requiring payments.
The 'Welcome Newsletter' will be replaced by this "Welcome E-news" as from 2009. Each time an article is posted, an automatic email will be sent to all members notifying them of an update, members can just 'click' and it will take them to the site to view the latest news. This will mean the news will be up-to-date, regular and much easier to read.
We have also implemented a detailed calendar for all members to check for up and coming social events, meetings, famils, network opportunities and workshops. All members are encouraged to contribute to the calendar listings by emailing their information to the committee at any time.
So take a tour of our new exciting website, explore and check your listing. We encourage and welcome all feedback.
