I will follow the discussions on the website, although I find this extremely uncomfortable.
We have had discussions in the past about the Connect, or whatever it is called. It is not a friendly platform (e.g. cannot have a working URL? Really? In 2016??) When one edits their profile, it throws them back to the main menu (instead to the the one just edited, to avoid multiple and useless clicks...), etc.

Why doesn't the Chapter's committee go and find or develop something you would all like to use? I see many (justified) complaints but suspect anything selected by ISOC could be criticized for missing some requirements. So perhaps do it from the bottom up and find some suitable tools you want to use. There are so many to choose from - even something like a sub-Reddit that is managed by the Chapter committee.

Anyway, my point is don't just wait for someone in "authority" to provide a better tool from above. Control your own destiny; find tools that suit your collective, varied needs and start using them or propose them (to the extent they need funding). Maybe not everything will work as expected but I think it is better to experiment than just sit around because you may find something really worthwhile and valuable. :-)
