How to Activate a Chapter
Why is the Welcome Page important?

• Local SSA Chapters must first add content to the
  Welcome page. 

• This is what activates the local chapters site
  link. 

• Although anyone can add content, best practice
  is for official SSA content to be determined by
  the board and posted by the Web Coordinator.

How to Activate a Chapter
Why is the Welcome Page important?

• Local SSA chapters are responsible for
• Activating their chapter's area.
• Migrating up-to-date content from the old site. 
  
• To activate local chapter pages, simply Add
  Content to the Welcome page.

19
How to Activate a Chapter
Why didnt Support activate ALL the sites at once?

• Activating the Welcome page shows the local
  chapters level of commitment.

• The decision was made by SSAW in coordination
  with SL Personnel.
