Affiliate Perspectives on Technology
This month, we asked our Affiliate leaders to share their thoughts on technology
in the CR and PR space.
How has technology
improved the workings
of your Affiliate within
the last five years
(communication,
Annual Meeting,
affiliate organization,
affiliate initiatives)?
Shelley Schmitz,

Northwest
Association of
Cardiovascular
& Pulmonary
Rehabilitation (AK, ID,
WA) (NWCVPR)
"We have been able to use our
website to utilize electronic conference
registration and payment. No more
mailing paper and checks! We have
also loaded each presentation for
conference to our website after
conference, as well as emailed them
out prior to conference."

various committees. It's a great
way to share information across the
state. We also use teleconferencing
for our regional meetings to help
improve attendance."

Megan Beatty, MS,
ACSM-CEP
Ohio Association
of Cardiovascular
& Pulmonary
Rehabilitation
(OACVPR)

"We have moved to digital
communication to announce meetings
and other important news and
information. We use a digital book for
our state conference, and send it out
to attendees to be able to access the
presentations rather than printing them.
We updated our website this past year
to create a user-friendly way to register
for the conference and stay up to
date on information within our affiliate.
When we conduct surveys now, we
do them online via sources such
as SurveyMonkey."

Whitney Quast,
MS, CEP, CCRP

Beth Salko, BSN,

Wisconsin Society of
Cardiovascular and
Pulmonary Health
and Rehabilitation

the learning needs of our members via
the use of surveys and evaluations.
We also use our website as a "landing
spot" for meeting minutes from the

"We began using ZapEvents for our
conference registration process, which
has reduced the manual workload for
our board quite a bit. DropBox is used
to share and edit files. MNACVPR will
be hosting our first webinar this fall!"

What new technology
are you hoping to
add to improve the
workings of your
Affiliate?
Shelley Schmitz
"[We] would like to be able to offer
our conference via webcast in
2018 to reach/engage with more of
our membership."

Beth Salko
"We are in the process of building
a new website that is even more
user friendly to continue to improve
the communication between
our members."

Megan Beatty
"It would be nice to add webinars to
our meetings so that we can actively
update and share our meeting notes
and agenda. We currently conduct
them via teleconference. We would
like to be able to move the conference
evaluations to an online tool rather
than paper."

Whitney Quast
"More involvement on social media is
something we plan to implement. We
are also experimenting with various
file-sharing programs."
