Site Under Construction

June 20, 2010

To all of our valued members:

I wanted to send you this letter to update you on the status of the MGIA website. I first want to apologize for the difficulty you have had as new members or existing members in accessing the site. We have been trying over the past year to work with our existing vendor to address a number of issues with the site. This has not been easy and is a complicated matter both technically and legally.

We have been unable to get a satisfactory result from our vendor and have recently employed a new vendor to take over administration of the website. You will see in the coming weeks progress being completed until our new site is up and running. The Board and I have discussed this matter and want to assure you that we feel the new administrator will be able to address our technical and membership needs. We also have decided to extend all memberships one (1) year free of charge from the expiration date of your application. This will be for all new members and existing members through the MGIA conference that recently wrapped up in St. Louis this last May 2010.

We will be alerting you to updates to the site as well as the roll out of the new site when it is completed. You all should be receiving a mailing in the near future from our Membership Director Mike Stueckrath regarding additional information. I want to thank all of you who have stuck with us and I know that we have the best members in the world. We have a common purpose in our quest to address gangs and their crimes and I believe the new website will be a great addition to this fight. Please do not hesitate to contact myself or any of the Board about further suggestions to make the site more user friendly and up to date.

Thank you again for your patience.

Sincerely
Bruce Ferrell
Chairman, MGIA
