Almabase

@Beth UnruhArnold In my other organization, we did a trial period with it and all I remember is that I felt it was not worth it, a little too convoluted and just another program to pay for that doe does not make life any easier.

We are currently in the onboarding process for Almabase. While there were some hiccups along the way we have found the engineers to be amazing as we work through any glitches that come up. Almabase is geared towards Alumni directory, campaigns, and events. However, we are using it for gala's, gold outings, and more that are not specifically alumni focused. We also will be moving our giving pages from Net Community to Almabase and RENXT over the next two months.

At this time minimal info on how engaged our alumni are on Almabase as we will bring over alumni from RE to create profiles on Almabase in the next month or so. After that an email will be sent out to invite alumni to log in to their profile.

We do have events and a few giving pages created and working through best practices with the features that are in Almabase. There is positive reviews from donors who have used event and giving pages, though since it is not 100% like NetCommunity registration is new to our event attendees and fielding more question than usually on how to register. I believe once we have gone through a year on Almabase our attendee and donors (and us) will have adapted to the change.
