In the summer of 2007, I was in my fourth year of volunteering for a very small organization, Friends of Georgia State Parks & Historic Sites. At the time, the organization had about 20 chapters statewide and just around 1,000 members. The spreadsheets that managed all these names and addresses had become too cumbersome and, as a tech-head from HP, I was asked to see if I could do anything about it.

CiviRules is live and doing effective automation!
At the BHA we use a lot of Google Group mailing lists, and of course we manage all our contacts through Civi. This meant plenty of duplication - when the head of a particular section changed, say, we'd have to update it in Civi and then the Google Group. So we asked Veda Consulting to write us an extension that automatically synced the two. The first version is now available.

MOTIVATION
The Women's Fund of Santa Barbara (WFSB) is a collective donor group that enables women to combine their charitable donations into significant grants focused on the critical needs of women, children and families in Santa Barbara. The organization is run exclusively by a team of volunteers. Cividesk spoke with Mary Garton, Susan Robeck and Julie Capritto about making the transition to CiviCRM and how this solution has changed the way they manage their organization.
