Promotion Committee

The Promotion Committee plans and oversees any efforts to publicize or otherwise promote the Free-Net and its projects. These efforts might include press releases, brochures, advertisements, and public appearances. The volunteer teams are free to conduct promotion on their own, but the Promotion Committee is available as a resource. See also the Community Technology Center Team, the OrgResources Team, the Conferencing Team, and the Dialup Team.
