ESN Webpage

Since the webpage is the most efficient business card of our network and this tool gets ever more important it isnecessary to always keep it updated. The person who takes over resposibility for this Action Plan has to:

-co-ordinate and supervise the work of the web-team
-revise the services and features on their necessity and function
-eventually add new services and pages
-moderate the discussion forum and the guest book

He/She is further more in charge of keeping up the communication with ESN Aarhus (Server) and for the moderation of our mailing lists.

Network expansion

Of course it lies in our interest to acquire new member sections. Especially in the countries where ESN is underrepresented like the United Kingdom, Iceland and Eastern Europe lots of promotion has to be done.
Therefore this EB member is responsible for getting into contact with HEIs and/or student organizations of this countries and should try to give support for setting up new member sections there.
In co-operation with the EB member responsible for PR and Communication, he/she should promote ESN in those countries.
This EB member should also be Liaison officer for CSN to facilitate the enlargement to Eastern Europe.
He/She is, with the International Administrator, contact person for applying sections and should give support to those during and after the application period.
Making sure that the welcome package is sent to the new sections and that they are provided with all the needed materials and information is another important task, as well as adding those new sections to the database and email-lists.

PR and Communication

Co-ordination all kinds of PR and communication within the network and outside the network. The action involves:

-Responsible for marketing material
-Promotion:
-within the network
(contact between the sections, involving the sections in the network)
-of the network

The responsible person for promotion will be the one taking care of our visual image to the outside world as well as keeping the network unified.
