Communication Director’s Report
2008/2009
As the RMMHA Communication
Director, my focus continued on two goals this season:
1. Ensuring that all parents and players received
up-to-date information before and during the hockey season. This included the
use of mass electronic email campaigns, newsletters and of course the RMMHA web
site. It is important that members know
and trust the RMMHA web site as an up-to-date and a reliable source of RMMHA
information.
2. Promote the Association
through highlighting great stories on the website, posting, the occasional
story in local newspapers, and participate in local community events.

update. Your comments on the web site are encouraged and welcomed.
Please ensure you sign up to
the website email alerts to be kept up-to-date on RMMHA news and alerts during
