Meeting
State Election Board - Current
Gist
Chris LaFay and Dawn Audano walked the State Election Board team through the WordPress site build using the Orchard design system, showing roughly 60-70% completed pages (homepage, About Us, Meetings, rules/petitions) with placeholder content and demoing the meeting/rules/petition CMS fields. They introduced the upcoming feedback tool (a red 'report issue' button) for the client to mark up specific text changes, and agreed the client would submit feedback by Thursday night/Friday morning ahead of a follow-up meeting set for Monday June 1st, 10-10:30am.

What came out of it
Decisions3
- Content organization guidance given: use background color sections for photo/name/title content but not for long-form text like open records requests.
- Adding new custom fields to rules/petitions is possible now but requires a few hours of development time and should be requested before further build-out.
- Next meeting scheduled for Monday June 1st, 10-10:30am.
Risks and blockers3
- Meeting content, page copy, and images have not yet been fully imported into the site.
- Client has not yet seen the WordPress back end, so some field/structure questions could not be fully resolved on this call.
- Client team said next Wednesday and Thursday are fully booked with other meetings.
