This Network is comprised of close to 10,000 pre-built, established sites for each of the 54 state and international Departments, their Districts and all 8,500 VFW Posts.  Each department now has an integrated internal and external communications system at their disposal for consideration of universal deployment in support of existing and planned communication protocols. The Network has not been formally recognized by the National level of the organization at this time but is being aggressively rolled out through the eight VFW Departments of North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, New Hampshire, Alabama, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The network provides the organization the ability to push a button and broadcast, or syndicate, the same piece of information, whether it’s text, pictures, video or audio, across every site.  Departments also have the ability to push a button and accomplish the same thing across just the District and Post sites within their Department. Most importantly it enables a VFW Post to directly manage and publish information to the Internet for their local community and their organization as a whole.. Over 5 years in the making and built with the oversight and to the specifications of VFW Department leadership and membership, its objectives are to foster: More efficient organizational communication to your members and potential members. More efficient organizational communication to your communities. More efficient organizational communication to your legislators. Generate revenue and resources for the organization. In support of the Network, we have added Department toolbars, a video-sharing platform, instant WebCHAT, a Membership Forum and pre-built 31,000 VFW Department-specific Officer e-mail accounts which are transferable to the next person filling the position. E-commerce storefronts for each post, online calendars and much more are in the works. All identified product and services are provided at zero cost to the organization with the understanding that costs are to be covered through a revenue sharing agreement. The organization retains 100% control of all branding, 100% editorial control of your message on all levels of the Network and final approval authority on all advertising and e-commerce opportunities. If the Network should fail to generate enough revenue to cover our service and product-provider partners' cost of doing business, there is no cost liability to organization. At this time advertising and e-commerce opportunities are only available for the eight aforementioned Departments. While you are here take a moment to take a closer look at how you can support these efforts. 1) Do you have a website or a weblog that you could add a link to a local VFW or State site?  Do you have a few minutes to write about us and let people know what we are doing? You can find a list of the 54 VFW Departments here: http://vfwwebcom.org/departments You can find a local VFW Post close to you here: http://vfwwebcom.org/postdirectory 2) If you are a VFW Member or Supporter, you can download your Department toolbar. The toolbar has lots of neat features; all the RSS (syndication) feeds for every site in the Network run through them, keeping you instantly connected to all the information moving through the Network. Plus every time you search the Internet using the tool bar you generate revenue for your Department. You can go here to download your toolbar: http://vfwwebcom.org/toolbars/ 3) If you are a VFW Member or Supporter, you can join the conversations in the VFW Membership Forum and instant WebCHAT. There’s lots of good information and opportunities to meet new friends there. You can go to the Forum here: http://www.vfwwebcom.org/forum 4) If you are a VFW Member or Supporter, you can view and start sharing videos at VFW WebCOM Video Network. You can check out the videos here: http://video.vfwwebcom.org/ 5) If you are a VFW Member or Supporter, do you know of a business that may be interested in supporting your local VFW Posts or Department by purchasing advertising on their site?  Prices start at $2.00 a day for one site and scale from there with opportunities to advertise across all sites in a Department.  (Again, at this time advertising and e-commerce opportunities are only available for the eight aforementioned Departments.) You can go here to browse advertising opportunities: http://www.admemex.com/vfwwebcom/ As you can see, there’s plenty to see and do on the VFW WebCOM Network with more still to come.  We thank you for stopping by and invite you back regularly to support and stay connected with your Veterans of Foreign Wars. http://www.vfwwebcom.org/nc/dist16/19729/ Tue, 9 Oct 2007 03:14:00 -0400 http://www.vfwwebcom.org/nc/dist16/19729/ Position     Commander L.
