NARALO ALS Outreach and Recruitment Efforts
Brief
This is a project of the NARALO Outreach and Recruitment Subcommittee. This page is a tracking workspace for our efforts to locate, contact, recruit, on-board and welcome potential ALSes in our region. This project is open to all NARALO members. Our overall goal is to find groups who are currently under-represented either geographically or in terms of discipline. While North America was first in Internet development, it is last in community input. Among the groups missing from our ranks are the disabled, journalists, consumer groups, and aboriginal communities. Beyond the diverse communities already in existence, we need further representation from all U.S. and Canadian territories as well as more participation from our Spanish and French speaking communities. If the Internet is for everyone, the policy discussion is for everyone.
