Adapting this group to be more strategic
- How do we get more group members?
- Send an email to the Leaders mailing list
- Need a more diverse membership group in terms of institutions type
- Registry is inaccurate
- Investigate ways to make more accurate
- Can we search for VIVO URLs? Not all VIVO sites have VIVO in the URL
- How can we bring aboard new members
- Make VIVO easier to install and use
- This would help us with smaller institutions, get more users
- We have users now who are not members, how we get them to become members?
- Focus on community engagement
- Find local/regional coordinators for user groups
- Promote membership at the conference
- Include membership in plenary presentation?
- Include membership updates on VIVO Leadership calls
