In specific terms, we have a few programs lined up.
We are trying to expand our membership base and being more regular and consistent with meetings.
We are trying to be more visible; our website and Facebook page will be fully operational and public by June 2020, and we will be providing regular updates.
We plan on starting a Tech Speaker Series to advocate for our club as well as global issues in the ever growing digital world. We will invite technical speakers to share new and emerging ideas on topics related to technology, digital learning and cybersecurity. The Speaker Series sponsored by our Club would also help raise awareness of our club and more people would recognize Digital Citizens.
We are stepping up our fundraising efforts. We are setting up an external crowdfunding effort as part of our plans to enhance awareness as well as reach out to a large number of friends and partners to raise funds for our Club activities.
Given that online learning has become a norm in these COVID-19 times, we are organizing a series of online lessons in a variety of fields. We are starting off with "Digital Citizens Cook for a Cause" - virtual cooking lessons to share a skill and passion as well as raise funds for the Club's activities.
