Calendar and Electronic Commerce Top the List of Your Website Preferences

We invited all members of the Nebraska Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA) to participate in an online survey to determine what you want the Association’s website to do for you.

Forty-four of you responded. Here are highlights of what you told us.

The top five features you want to see on the NVMA website:

1. Events calendar.
2. Electronic commerce: Capability to pay online through the website all membership dues, advertising bills, conference and CE fees, and any other dollar transaction with the NVMA.
3. Online continuing education opportunities.
4. Resources such as licensing information, career/employment opportunities and classified advertising.
5. Forum for member discussions of regulatory and legislative issues.

Several of you mentioned that a mobile app and mobile-friendly website also are important to you.

The vast majority of you wish to hear from the NVMA through email. A few want the NVMA to use other means, such as texting. We will communicate with you according to your preferences.

We will continue to seek input from the membership as we retool and improve the website and Association communication processes. The five features listed above, and many others, will be built into the new website.

This work will begin immediately and we expect to have the new NVMA website up and running before the end of the first quarter of the year.
