TOPG Website receives Honorable Mention in PSA’s 2021 Website Contest
The PSA sponsors its website contest annually to “provide an opportunity for PSA Clubs and Councils to receive feedback on the strengths and weaknesses of the sites as evaluated by a panel of knowledgeable judges” (from PSA website). Judges are asked to score each club’s website in 6 categories including the home page and general content, technical design and professionalism. There are a total of 37 individual criteria that are evaluated for each website.
This year 45 clubs submitted their site for review. Our club is in the large club category for those clubs having 75 or more members. Of the 17 clubs who were reviewed in this category, six were identified with distinction.
