New Favorite Thing: WhenIsGood

If you haven't discovered this handy-dandy tool yet, you must try it out. I discovered whenisgood thanks to Jay, our IT person at Great River.

Here's the scoop:

Instead of sending out an e-mail to all your committee members saying: we-need-to-meet-when- are-you-available-in-the-next-month you go to WhenIsGood ~ no password or signup needed! ~ and highlight on a calendar when you are available to meet. Then you use WIG's handy send feature to add in however many e-mail addresses you need to send out. 

Ta-da... each committee member receives a little calendar that they can highlight with their availability. You then can go in and check the calendar to see the best possible time to meet.

Slick!

In the event that you're working with a big enough group that no time will be good for everyone, WIG's calendar shows you how many people voted down specific time slots, and who voted them down. So then you can prioritize and pick the least bad time for your meeting.

And you can get all this accomplished in just a couple of e-mails instead of a blizzard of them.

SO COOL.
