I use a leadership supplement and pay a staff member to be responsible for it. She also attends our weekly calendar meeting so that she can tell us what is currently being highlighted, and what needs to be updated. We also meet at the end of each year and review all of the pages of the site to check for relevance, and updates needed for the year ahead.
