Re: Team communication

I send out weekly newsletters that contain all the information they need to know. However, people have told me that they rarely like to read them. To solve this problem we tell students information at weekly team meetings (every Tuesday afternoon) and then later put the actual forms in and links in the newsletter (sent every Tuesday night). This back-to-back communication system works pretty well to keep all 90+ team member up to date.

However, despite all my efforts, students will always forget or procrastinate things, so we've just learned to not care if a student doesn't fill out some forms (like sweatshirt orders) or misses the opportunity to contribute to a discussion; their loss.

Hope that helps!
