"Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are...Texas oil millionaires and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid."

— President Dwight D. Eisenhower

The Society of Christian Ethics

Posted: 18 Apr, 2011 |

The SCE decided to simultaneously upgrade their website and move their Access membership database online. Drupal serves as the foundation for the member interface, while CiviCRM is used to manage member information, event registration, online membership payments and member contacts. The member-side of the site relies heavily on creative implementation of views and panels. The many interest and working groups of the Society each have their own group area (using Organic Groups) allowing for online discussion of upcoming meetings, and member projects. Using Messaging and Notifications, group members can communicate with one another both online and via email.

Using Views CiviCRM profiles, members are able to update their own member profiles, portions of which are now public, facilitating interaction both within the growing society, and with academics in other disciplines. Site access is controlled by CiviCRM memberships and drupal roles sync in order to maintain the privacy of members as well as allow for private group discussions and collaboration on sensitive topics.

Features:

CiviCRM
Heavy integration of Panels and Views to implement access-based site content.
Organic Groups to mimic 'listservs', group-based wikis and forums.

United Way of the Columbia-Willamette The United Way of the Columbia-Willamette needed to implement a new design using existing content while allowing for dynamic social networking elements and new marketing strategies, and they weren't quite ready to jump into a full-fledged CMS.
