Complete revamp of the club's back office systems & processes

American Women's Club of Zurich

The AWCZ is a 100% volunteer based organization that manages approx 500 members, 100's of events per year, a library, fundraining as well as many social gatherings. In the past, the whole organization was managed with multiple tools, excel lists and custom databases, with no view or control of the overall club's operations. CiviCRM and a new Joomla website solved all their problems.
