AN IMPORTANT
COMMUNICATIONS UPDATE
|
We have been working on updating our communications and administrative tools to enable CBST staff to better help you and to make sure that you can find the information that you need. This will set us up for long-term success, allowing us to expand our programming and membership.
You will notice some changes over the next few weeks. We want to make sure you understand what’s going on & why:
Tomorrow, January 15,
you will notice that the forms on our website for contributions, event registrations, & membership will change. The formatting will be different: the updated forms
will have improved functionality and be more dynamic. The calendar will stay the same, and the rest of the website will look the same.
Please use the links at CBST.org to register for events, make donations, or join CBST.
Over the next few weeks (
between Jan. 15 & Jan. 27
), the hyperlinks that lead you to event pages & forms will change.
This means that if you are clicking on a link from an old email, newsletter, or Facebook post, you may receive an error message notifying you that the page no longer exists.
If this happens, go to
cbst.org
directly, click on the calendar, and find the event. To minimize the chances that you get an error message,
please use only what is live on the website—do not use links from old communications
.
By
Jan. 27
, in addition to the updated forms, the website will have new calendar & event pages with a new look and feel. At this time, all event links will be updated.
Again, please use the links on the website to ensure a smooth transition.
