ARCH Web Resources: All ARCH Member Support activities require a cost effective, reliable, secure, two-way method of communication and information sharing to facilitate periodic Member updates, and allow for immediate updates of important time critical news. The ARCH website is the focal point for Members to access information and communicate with ARCH Committees and other Members. Electronic-mail will be used for the majority of our communications and broadcast of information sharing. The Web Resources Committee (WRC) shall design, implement and maintain the ARCH website, RestonARCH.org, to organize and enhance communications and information sharing, internally within and between the Members, and where appropriate, externally with the community.


Volunteers are needed to:

  1. Initially to design and develop the features and functionality of the initial web deployment, and fully test and Q.A. the system;

  2. On an ongoing basis, to assume webmaster responsibility for the segments of the website, supporting each of the Operations & Administration Support Committees. As such, these individuals will become an adjunct member of the Committee they support;

  3. To develop features that enhance the visual and operational appeal of the website (this will require computer graphic arts expertise) and also to provide technical support (this will require knowledge of web techniques and codes) as needed.
