News and Events Planner

The UWRA News and Events Form is intended to streamline the distribution and creation of communication material for UWRA Events and News of interest to Retirees.

How we get things done.

  1. The organizer uses the form to compile the required information.
    The Organizer completes and submits the form.  The form will automatically notify the Web Manager and the UWRA Communications Coordinator, and will send a reply email to the person that submitted the form, with the values entered.
  2. Create a web page and a form.
    The web manager will create an event web page or news page, and if required, a web-registration form in order to create the links needed in other communications. The  Events Calendar is automatically populated once the event is "published" on the web page.
  3. Sharing details of the event.
    Links to these UWRA websites are shared with:
    • The UWRA Communication Co-ordinator, (who may need the links to post in other communications);
    • The UWRA Membership Coordinator, (if EFT payments and membership status need to be validated); and
    • The organizer if the event needs to be reviewed and updated as needed. (Usually the links to the pages will not be affected by copy editing).
  4. Depending on the date to be "published" or "advertised", the event is also shared with the WATtimes Editor to publish in WATtimes and UWRA Communications Co-ordinator to publish in the UWRA Monthly Bulletin.
  5. If promoting an “event of interest to retirees” hosted by an external party, the links on our website and an email will direct readers to the host organization.

The form below is a checklist of the information needed to start the promotion process. Starred sections are mandatory. You may leave other areas blank, if they don't apply to your event. 

If you have any problems filling out the form, contact Rose Vogt
