Members urged to get involved as Webjam nears testing
Dons Trust Board member Jane Lonsdale gives an update on the work she has been doing on behalf of the Board and Trust to enable members to be involved, be informed and be heard as part of the wider member engagement project.
As you may be aware for a number of years now the Dons Trust Board has been looking for ways to add value to Trust membership.
Board member, Jane Lonsdale, with support from David Growns and a project working team, has been working on an exclusive Trust member-only social media tool called The Trust Webjam.
The Trust Webjam will enable Trust members to be involved, be informed and be heard! It facilitates engagement online with the Board, where information can be shared, and views expressed. Discussions and polls will take place, all in a secure, exclusive members-only space. It will also give the Board a closer understanding of what our members, the owners of AFC Wimbledon, want.
Following updates at SGMs and AGMs this latest update advises members on the final testing and plans to roll out The Trust Webjam to all members at the end of August / beginning of September and some taster sessions that you may want to attend to get more information / help in signing up.
