The Challenge
The Challenge
Planning a multi-day reunion required the committee to coordinate classmate information, registrations, guests, payments, annual dues, fundraising, and ongoing communications. Without one shared system, important information could become scattered, financial records were harder to reconcile, and committee members had limited visibility into current activity.
Payment Complexity
Dues, event payments, partial payments, and fundraiser funds required accurate tracking.
Communication Gaps
The committee needed a consistent way to reach classmates and review message history.
The Solution
The Solution
I developed a role-based management platform that connects the public registration experience with a private committee dashboard. Records update in one system, payments can be documented and reviewed, email and text communications can be managed, and reports provide a clear view of event and financial activity.
