Week 8

On Monday there was an RTA committee meeting. There will be a website for the event that should be up and running in a couple of weeks – www.transportawarenessday.org.au. Having a website, I think, is only appropriate for an event this large – there should be a source that year round acts as a marketing tool, it will only increase awareness of the day and ease communication. This will be a great tool for promoting the day and communicating with any industry participants prior to the day. Having the site up and running will act as a reference point for any information or plans for committee members to refer to as well – it gives the committee and the promotional day a concrete place (so to speak) where their identity will constantly exist. Major sponsors have been guaranteed a logo and link on the website as well – this means that the website can act as another attraction to potential sponsors.

There is the possibility of entering an editorial into the ‘Owner Driver Magazine’ as well – which is a task that has been left to Janine and myself.

I really like attending the meetings – they are a wealth of information (and all the members have been lovely).
