Connect - What's It All About?
What is Connect?
An interactive database system that enables:-
~ Activity Leaders to publicise events to the wider membership as details will appear online
~ Roster Managers to compile rosters in an easily understandable format
~ Volunteers to record their own areas of interest, browse the current and planned activities and get involved.
What Access Levels apply to the system?
~Activity Leaders
1) Access to Connect Registered Volunteers' details, their skills and qualifications/competences for which they have received training
2) Request new Rosters and Message Boards
3) Create and manage Rosters for their activity or event if required
4) Post and amend news concerning their Activity on Message Boards
5) Obtain a variety of Roster Reports

What are the benefits of Connect?
Connect has been designed to consolidate volunteer records and volunteers' areas of interest in one place. It enables Activity Leaders and Roster Managers to establish and manage a roster for any event, large or small.
Displaying rosters online enables all Connect participating volunteers to keep up to date with the overall staffing position for any particular event...and to offer their services where appropriate!
Key to its success is the willingness of Activity Leaders and Roster Managers to accept the system, use it whenever they can and feed back any problems encountered.
