SUMMARY:Chapter Leader Forum:  Introducing Slack\, Our New Workspace Platform
DESCRIPTION:Chapter Leader Forums provide a place for discussion and questions regarding NPSOT state and chapter issues. Let’s share ideas and support one another in growing the organization and supporting the mission!  \n\n\n\nJuly Topic: Using Slack\, Our New Workspace Platform \n\n\n\nDescription:  \n\n\n\nThis Chapter Leader Forum will provide an overview of the cloud-based communications platform\, “Slack”\, which is replacing the Society’s use of “Workplace from Meta” as our virtual office because Meta is discontinuing Workplace effective August 31\, 2025. \n\n\n\nSlack participation will be limited to Staff\, State Board members\, and members of active State committees\, and invitations will be sent out shortly. Staff\, State Board\, and Committee members are strongly encouraged to attend or sign up to receive an event recording to watch later. \n\n\n\nRenata Lucia will ease this transition by giving an overview of what Slack is and how to get started\, and then conduct demos and live Q&A along with Transition Team Members Craig Dalton and Bill Hopkins. \n\n\n\nFollowing this presentation\, you will be ready to make the transition from Workplace to Slack! \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nCraig Dalton\, WebmasterBill Hopkins\, NLCP Steering Committee ChairRenata Lucia\, Tech Coordinator/Administrative Assistant \n\n\n\nWhen: Thursday\, July 17\, 2025 (Third Thursday) 12 – 1 pm \n\n\n\nZoom Registration Link: \n\n\n\nhttps://npsot-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/p29dY-z8TLewXPbSeDRtsA
