Specialized Features for Organizers in ODB 2.0

Curry Student Center 344 (3rd Floor)

Traditional donor and customer relationship management systems do a very good job of tracking contact info, gifts, and basic interaction with constituents. However, groups that engage in community organizing need to track types of interactions that are not easily captured by existing systems. The purpose of this workshop is to envision how we might track organizing work -- and the leadership development of constituents -- much more effectively. Some new features (of ODB 2.0) will be shown, and others will be brainstormed by participants.
