 Member Communications: As with any coalition of individuals and groups, with common interests and issues, the key to success is effective and reliable two-way communications; inbound, outbound and within the membership. The ARCH Communications Committee (ACC) will be responsible for the overall flow of news and information from ARCH to our Members and the community. This group will manage the editing and production of periodic Member updates and, when needed, assist the various Member Support groups by editing their work product prior to posting on the web.

Volunteers are needed to:

1. On a regular and ongoing basis, assist in the editing and production of the ARCH Member Newsletter, at least on a quarterly basis;
   
   
2. On a regular and ongoing basis, manage the ongoing relations with the local press to maximize coverage of ARCH and to reinforce our positive role in the community;
   
   
3. On a regular and ongoing basis, assist the RestonARCH.org Web Resource Committee in the editing and production of documents to be posted on the web site;
   
   
4. On an as needed basis, help with the editing and production of Board communications to the Members on specific issues and news items;
   
   
5. Support the Board in the ongoing "outreach" efforts with elected community leaders that serve our constituency.
