Strategic Initiative Brief: Program teams, IWP
Unify-Communicate-Advocate
The Strategic Initiatives offer a home for strategic thought - drawing on members of the wider UC ANR community and beyond to 1) help people connect and 2) to help them identify and address issues of current and emerging importance.
Program teams are alive and well
With support from the Program Support Unit (PSU) and good PT leadership the Water, Agronomy and Pomology Program Teams have had highly effective online meetings. The Dairy and Meat Production & Food Safety Program Teams have a series of meetings planned throughout April. Other PT activities are in the pipeline. These events are important in helping people Network, Share and Learn with and from each other.
Reach - The Integrated Web Platform - Have you registered your site?
Make sure your website is registered for the Integrated Web Platform (IWP).
Register your websites here https://ucanr.edu/portal/iwp_content_registration.cfm.
Why register your web site? UC ANR has hundreds of sites that are inactive or poorly maintained. We want the best and most "alive" material to be part of the IWP. By doing so, you will increase the discoverability of your materials.
What will the new interface look like? Check out the draft at https://iwp.ucanr.edu. Feedback welcome. Learn more about the IWP here.
