Considerations

• Registration/Structures need to apply to all
• Communications to all may be confusing
• Difficult to Manage Multiple School Calendars
• Community Calendar is TOO BIG

Advantages

• Distribution of Responsibilities

9. Multiple Umbrella
Disadvantages
• COST
•When everything is the
same

10. How will you Pay for it or Sell
it?
• How did you pay for OrgSync initially?
• Identify the direct beneficiaries and seek their
involvement.
• Identify what and whose problem are you
solving
• Give others Full Admin Rights of Large
Portions of your community
