Jekyll Island Citizens Association







Feature:What is JICANet

History & Purpose

JICANet was started nearly 10 years ago in response to resident needs to communicate the actions that were being taken by their own civic organization and by the Jekyll Island Authority. It is a dedicated Email service that sends out issues to its mailing list subscribers. Initially it was run through the private email accounts of residents, more recently it has evolved into a webmail service, which is an integral part of JekyllCitizens.Org.

Who does it represent?

JICANet receives its information from nearly every organization on the island, including the Jekyll Island Authority. The content is sent to the JICANet editor for inclusion in the next issue. Issues are sent out between 80 and 100 times per year. Each issue has a series number and date, topic list, and then the stories themselves. A major responsibility of JICANet is to publish quickly, "unofficial" minutes of the Jekyll Island Citizens Association and Jekyll Island Authority board meetings, that are held most months on the island.

Submitting JICANet Content

Because JICANet is email, an effort is made to keep it an all-text document. This has the advantage of quick downloads and easy use on mobile hand-held devices. The email content can contain links (URL's) so that if the content is extremely long or graphically intensive, a link is given to an appropriate web page. Send copy to [email protected]
