Hello,
In my spare time I'm on the organising committee of a voluntary campaign group. The 'problem' I'm trying to solve is that the person who is the email contact for my group relies on CC'ing emails to pass on information to the rest of the committee. He also forwards lots of generic emails, sending everything to everyone instead of pointing specific items to the individuals involved. This means I come home and find about 10 new email threads a day and it's very hard to keep up with (plus demoralising)!
I know that something needs to be done about it (it's really putting new people off getting involved and creating unecessary work/wasted time which could be put to much better use) but I'm wondering if whether using some kind of structure/group/forum would actually be any better? This would be for internal communications rather than an open forum with the general public. Maybe even some kind of task management software? I really have no idea whether things like this exist but would be interested to know how other groups manage.
Thanks,
Emma
