Chapter Newsletters and Web sites

In the last two years, the Silicon Valley Chapter has gone from publishing a monthly newsletter (well, truthfully, a big newsletter one month and a 4-page flyer the next month) to publishing a totally electronic PDF of the newsletter only on the chapter Web site to publishing only an HTML newsletter on the Web site.

Now, some of us in the chapter are pondering just what the relationship should be between the chapter Web site (and webmaster) and the chapter newsletter (and editor), if the newsletter is simply a collection of pages on the Web site.

How has YOUR chapter organized its publications? Does the chapter still print and mail a paper newsletter?

Does the chapter also publish a newsletter on the Web site? Is there a mechanism for members to opt out of getting a paper copy? Is the current newsletter in a members-only part of the Web site?

Is there an archive of older newsletters on the site? Is access to them limited to members only?

What is the relationship between your council, your Web site, and your newsletter--is the webmaster a council member? What about the newsletter editor?
