Girl Scouts To Get High-Powered Website to Promote Growth, Service
Girl Scouts - Circle T Council, Inc., will help more than 16,000 Girl Scouts in North Texas connect with a business-grade Website to host interactive discussion groups, support membership growth and automate member services.
Fort Worth, TX (PRWEB / PRWEB) February 11, 2007 -- Girl Scouts - Circle T Council, Inc., has selected Tarrant County-based i5 web works to develop an improved Website to increase membership, broaden community participation and facilitate interaction among the council's 16,000 Girl Scouts.
Circle T Council must serve the growing needs of its girls, who have grown up with the Internet and expect Web-based services, as well as a diverse base of adult leaders and volunteers. The new site will vastly improve the council's ability to meet those needs by helping it:
- promote membership benefits;
- advertise volunteer opportunities;
- increase financial support and provide an accounting of stewardship;
- recognize individual and corporate supporters;
- automate services, including program and event registration, online training and shopping, and
- host interactive discussion groups for girls.
Circle T Council CEO Patricia Thomson said the council selected i5 web works because of the company's reputation for high performance in the business community, and because of i5's work for non-for-profit Grapevine Relief and Community Exchange, GRACE.
Thomson said i5's Michael Burns and Carita Weaver understand the unique needs of community organizations such as Circle T Council. "We are getting a first rate business solution at a substantial discount as part of i5 web works' community outreach," Thomson said. She went on to say the new Website's increased capabilities should be particularly helpful as Circle T Council prepares to merge with three other councils later this year. The new council will include more than 70 counties and will serve more than 25,000 Girl Scouts.
Weaver, i5's Principle Internet Consultant, said the company believes it is important to give back by helping organizations such as the Girl Scouts. "This community has been good to us, so it's especially nice to help a group such as Circle T Council," Weaver said. "Every year we offer special pricing to a few select groups that are making life better for others."
