Technology and the Conference

The success of the Omaha meeting came in part from the very effective use of several technological tools. The Officers made excellent use of Power Point in the orientation they conducted for the Council. Cheryl recorded notes for the Council during several presentations including Bishop Malone's report on the USCCB's strategic plan. Our table recorder tracked our discussion on his computer and emailed the notes from our discussion to NCCL's Secretary.

We need to be aggressive with our use of technology in our conference work and our ministry. The incorporation of technology into our work is no longer a luxury but an essential tool of communication. Our experience in Omaha taught us that internet access, computers and LCD projectors are valuable tools for our work. Affordable internet access needs to be available at all sites used by NCCL for meetings and workshops.
