I sit on a Board of Directors and I'm the head of the IT committee. Yesterday I got an urgent phone call because while the office manager was away on extended leave, the ED (with good intentions) allowed a volunteer to update the website. Somehow, the volunteer managed to wipe all the content (including the template data) from the welcome page and essentially broke the website. I went in, managed to recover the page from the google cache because no backup had been saved, and then had to find where to upload it on my own. If there were an instruction manual and backups, this wouldn't have been hard, but since I wasn't given anything to work with, I'm quite impressed with myself.

As well you should be.

More fodder for your ambitions to have a proper site. Strange that they are willing to engage in minor changes without process but block proper projects that attempt to follow process.

You'd have multiple backups and recover points and security restrictions on the site with the approach that I bring in my back pocket.

Oh believe me, I'm looking forward to adding this to the report
