    The Internet Advisory Committee was responsible for overseeing the vision and management of the denominational website, www.presbyterian.ca. I was asked to join the committee to bring the site into the new social web.

    I guided the committee as it strived to connect with the denomination's members online. A key concept was that we are not trying to create an online community - we are providing a means for an existing offline community to communicate and grow online.
