Yesterday, we had the opportunity to meet with Jill, our new communications director, about how we manage out membership data.  How do we communicate with our members?  Where does the data come from?  What are the problem areas?

We were able to identify at least 8 different types of “Databases” in use other than our Church Management Systen (Shelby).  Yikes!  The next steps are to identify why we are using so many disconnected databases and develop a solution that will meet the needs of the church long term.  It’s going to be a lot of work, but should be fun.
