1. Electronic Communication and Website Development for your Chapter Presented by Dr. Soror Brandy Bush and Soror Gayle Lyke on behalf of DZZ Chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

2. Objectives 1. Sorors will be able to identify 3 free web based services that can provide solutions for improving chapter communication. 2. Sorors will be able to identify 2 types of page widgets that can be assets to a website for increased communication.

3. Purpose Our chapter's solutions were all executed by a chapter soror without a background in the tech industry and who had not used these products before. This demonstrates that it is possible to create a professional website with a little time to become familiar with the products and with limited resources. The increased speed and completion of communication in the chapter has improved the sisterly connection with current sorors and has helped the chapter reclaim sorors who were able to connect with our chapter by finding us on the web.
