Week 5
Overall, this was a shorter week because my supervisor as well as most of the office was still out of town at Outdoor championships. Also, we were given Friday off because of the 4th of July holiday.
Most of the week, I worked on editing the 2009 Indoor Visa Recap to the 2009 Outdoor Visa recap. This involved changing numerous entitlements, pictures, titles, etc. Also, I worked extensively with PowerPoint. I aimed to make the presentation more visually appealing than its current state. Since this recap is a tool to show sponsors that investing in USATF is worth it, I felt like it was very important to improve the quality and look of the recap.
Additionally, I did some research on how to overcome the problems I had encountered when suggesting improvements for the website. Specifically, I found a way to use Constant Contact to put polls on the website. Also, I found a product known as Google FriendConnect, which basically allows websites to incorporate social media onto their websites. It seems like it could be useful to better connect with USATF fans through such tools as comments, chats, and fantasy profiles.
Once my immediate supervisor returned, I presented all the work I had done in the past week in a half. While this was informal, this gave me the opportunity to practice presenting my ideas in a clear manner. Of course, the more practice I have presenting the better public speaker I will become in the future.
