KeyNotes Post Suggestions:
Content for KeyNotes posts consist of land-economics topics and directly relate to a LAI member, chapter, or a global LAI event.
Chapter meeting synopses are perfect for KeyNotes posts as well as articles written by a LAI member or honoring a member.
Personal or business travel that ties in land economics within images and copy are interesting KeyNotes posts.
Peruse past KeyNotes posts for inspiration on crafting a unique post.
Articles of any length are accepted, though long articles may be best broken into a series. Multi-media material such as ppt, charts, video, links to other material, etc. are often integral to substantiating post content.
