The Village Preservation website contains hundreds of pages and resources, thousands of blog posts and archived historic images. Part of my responsibilities with the organization is to make sure that vast quantity stays updated and functioning, and adding to that volume as news and programs transpire. I also assemble our frequent enewsletters, editing text, researching photos, and creating images often on quite short notice, then ensuring they reach the tens of thousands of people within our target audiences.
Earlier, working with Transportation Alternatives’ Brooklyn Committee, I led the creation of a highly active Facebook page for the committee and Twitter feed for our Fix Atlantic Avenue campaign, often using my own graphics to promote our meetings, bike tours, and advocacy actions. The project earned me a Brooklyn Activist of the Year award from the parent group, which helped lead to my election as committee co-chair. Separately, I established a Fix the Brooklyn Bridge for Bikes campaign page to spur on the eventual development of a bike lane over the historic span.
Last but not least, serving as webmaster (among other roles) for the Park Slope Civic Council, I led the redesign of the Brooklyn nonprofit’s outdated website, working with a web developer to move the site to the more manageable WordPress for content management and modernize it for greater accessibility. (Making minor corrections in the site’s new coding to avoid delays and additional costs was also under my purview.) I then updated the site regularly and generated monthly Civic News enewsletters with new content from the quarterly print publication and for the months in between each issue.
