ELBA has developed an improved communication program to serve its members, community and East Lincoln County.  As part of the Strategic Planning session held in December, this topic took a front runner position to other topics identified.  With social media, print and web use growing, ELBA realizes we are missing opportunities to promote our mission:

“A Community United for the Betterment of All – Empowering Progress and Ensuring Quality of Life”

The web site was designed and is hosted by Novus Electronics and is in the stages of development to provide the direction of ELBA, areas of involvement, improved communication and membership contacts.

The site includes “feeds” from local media outlets and provides a community calendar.  You can now use the ELBA Web to join ELBA as a new member or renew your membership.

As the WEB site is developed, we are asking for your input to identify subjects, activities, links, and features you would like to see on the ELBA Website and other social media outlets.  Your input is important and we need your help.  If you have experience with this, creative ideas or if you have seen a presentation that you valued, please pass this information along to an ELBA Board member or contact ELBA by using our “Contact Us” page.
