The District IV Officer Availability Calendar on the District IV Website

The District IV Officer Availability Calendar function on the District IV Website was created to provide the District IV BOD a separate calendar in which they could annotate the dates that they are unavailable to work in or participate fully in their District IV Board capacity. Possibly they will be out of town on a work assignment or simply on vacation. This may mean that they are either totally or partially unavailable to participate. They may not be available to participate in person, but may have the ability to communicate via phone and/or e-mail.

Each individual Board Member can:
- elect to input and maintain this information themselves, or can ask for assistance from the District IV Administrator to keep this calendar up to date;
- specify what information is included in their individual entries to provide to the other board members.

This specific Calendar is an easy visual means of making this important information available to the other District IV Board Members and is helpful to the board for planning and communication purposes. We can now look to ensure that we don't have members unavailable when we are looking to schedule a new event/meeting.

This feature is currently only available to District IV BOD Members and not to those Officers from any of its member Clubs and/or Associations.
