Nonprofit Organization
Communicating events to an Online Community
Jenny is a volunteer in charge of the web site for a international nonprofit organization.
They have over a hundred regional chapters all over the world. Each chapter hosts events for the organization at
least once a month.
Before Calendar Central
Jenny spends half her time collecting information about meetings from the different chapters
and putting that information on the web site. The second problem is that the site visitors see a large number of
meetings, even though they may be interested in only the one or two meetings in their area.
After Calendar Central
With Calendar Central, Jenny has assigned organizers from each chapter to be publishers
for their group. Each organizer is authorized to enter events only for their region. When they enter events into
Calendar Central, they are immediately available to anyone visiting the web site.
Using Calendar Central, each chapter can embed the calendar within their own web site.
When a visitor goes to a local site, they see the local chapter's events and the national events. They can always
choose to see events occurring at other locations.
