Welcome to the New Website!

The New OMSA Website Project Team welcomes you to our new forum & website!

We have been working diligently to get this site up and running as quickly as possible to give the OMSA members time sensitive and up-to-date information, such as the OMSA Convention.

To learn more about the need and background behind this new OMSA website, we would encourage you to read the OMSA President’s Message announcing this launch under the “About Us” tab on the Home Page.

So what will happen in the near future regarding this new website?

Short-Term (defined as up to the August OMSA Board Meeting):

Our New OMSA Website Project Team will continue to manage the website content that is not forum related for the short-term. This “Hand-Off Phase” of the Project Plan will insure that all bugs are worked out and things are running smoothly. We have also solicited several other forum moderators to help us with forum moderation during this interim period.

Long-term (defined as after the August OMSA August Board Meeting):

The “Closure Phase” of our Project Plan will be to present a functional website management proposal at the August OMSA Board Meeting to maintain it going forward as well as recommending strategies to dramatically improve the research content. If accepted, our proposal will take the website forward in a dramatic and improved turn from where we have been.

 As part of this proposal, there will not be a Webmaster position due to the flexibility of the Content Management Structure (CMS) of the new website software. Our recommendations will establish a functional management structure for the OMSA Website that can be delegated to many individuals to insure feeding the website with new and fresh material.

In the meantime, if you have any comments, observations, website problems, suggestions, as well as constructive criticism, we would be happy to hear from you though this forum so that we may take that input and use it to continuously improve.

Sincerely,

The New OMSA Website Project Team
