Tracking Member Engagement with an Engagement Score in CiviCRM
The Progressive Technology Project (PTP) works with groups who organize community members around social justice issues. These groups recruit members and help to develop their leadership abilities. In order to measure the impact of the organization's work to develop leaders and more effectively reach out to more people in the community, these organizations want to be able to track how often and how much members interact with them, and in what ways (door-knocking, volunteering at events, attending rallies, etc.). These interactions can be summed up as "member engagement".
The typical mechanism for tracking member engagement is the memory of organizers. Not only is this inefficient - and potentially inaccurate or incomplete - but when the organizer leaves the organization, that information usually leaves with her. Unfortunately when the information remains with that individual rather than becoming part of shared organizational knowledge, this knowledge is lost.
Powerbase field trip
hey folks,
The Progressive Technology Project (PTP) has a pilot project running using Powerbase, an enhanced version of CiviCRM for base-building community organizing groups. I am responsible for two of the four sites, a community group in Oakland and one in San Diego. I did a site visit last week and wanted to share some of the feedback I received with the community here. As PTP further develops this database project, we hope to keep contributing to CiviCRM and we thought sharing what comes up could be one way for us to do that.
