Intentional proving ground · Membership + digital systems
Scottsdale Elks Lodge #2148
Real members. Real events. Real fundraising. Real deadlines. An excellent place to find out whether a system is actually useful.
The mess
Events, food, member communications, fundraising and stories were spread across different channels, with too much information being recreated or updated by hand.
What I connected
Built and improved the digital member experience across website, email, events, signage and fundraising systems. The goal is not more technology; it is fewer repeated jobs and clearer next steps.
What got easier
A more useful digital home and reusable systems. Individual experiments include a charity-event hub and a live Square-fed raffle count that updates signage as tickets sell.
