On March 23, 2024 we had a Growing Your Chapter webinar focused on helping chapters create a website. You may watch the webinar below. Documentation, templates and more can be found below the video.

To access the templates, documentation, and more, do the following:

1) Make sure you are logged out of all Google (AKA Gmail) accounts in your browser. You can do this from https://www.google.com/ and using the circle-shaped icon in the upper right corner. Mine had a J on it today.

2) Log into the account you want to use the templates with, although you can certainly add this to any of your Google (AKA Gmail) accounts.

3) Once you are logged into your account, click this link: https://bit.ly/474Zwiw

4) You should now see these folders and documents:

Folders: Hoop Logos (a program that can work with Photoshop documents is needed for these), Documentation (open this for detailed directions—you can print/download any or all of them), and EGA Logo

Documents: Region and Chapter Website Checklist (download and print this one and have it at hand for reference), EGA Template v3, and EGA Template v4_Join. The only difference between the last two is that the Join template has an additional page added about how to join (and renew) EGA membership.

Remember, these are in the Shared with me folder. To use one of the templates, you will need to right-click one of them and select Copy. After a few seconds, the copy will have been made. So where is it? Click on My Drive on the left side of the screen.

We did leave Reggie’s EGA website up so you could revisit what was done on the webinar: https://sites.google.com/view/reggiesega/

The BunnyStitchers EGA website is the demo site where you can see how different things might work: https://www.bunnystitchersega.org/

This is a series of webinars on strategies for increasing membership in your chapter. You may see all our Growing Your Chapter webinars so far on our YouTube Channel.
