Communicating with all veterans organisations will trigger a lot of interest. People will want to become supporters. Whereas Volunteers are people who give their time to moderate or create content, “Supporters” can contribute in many smaller ways with active engagement. Examples include:
Encouraging a VWM facebook post on key days
Identifying potential memorial champions (or becoming one)
Printing a PDF poster and putting on local notice boards
Encouraging action and support at a local level
The potential of the supporter program needs to be workshopped before designing a system to administer it. It could be just name, contacts and location. However there may be merit in capturing specific interests of supporters.
