<p>A few highlights to call our on this month's IT Division report:</p>
<p>- Added new Sponsor/ vendor page for the 2024 Convention</p>
<p>- Conducted CRM / registration training</p>
<p>- updated convention website candidate field/images and agenda per Convention committee requests (ongoing)</p>
<p>- Added/ restored Candidate interest form on lpillinois.org (per Political Division request)</p>
<div>- What's next for CRM </div>
<div>With National LP moving away from current CiviCRM/Wordpress platform and previously noted Aristotle data fix not working out for affiliates like ours, I would like to recommend we schedule <strong>Andy Burns from AB consulting</strong> on the Next BoD Call in late March. </div>
<div> * * Andy can share his expertise and describe for us what he is working on with other LP affiliates and allow us to be informed about and ask questions about what options may lie ahead for LP Illinois with our CRM platform.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Andy was the LP National CIO from 2019-2022 with has an intimate knowledge of both the technology and more critically the current platform we are on (Civi) and how to get to the next iteration if and when our board decides to make such a move.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>NOTE: Due to my business travel I may be in and out of this evening's committee/ board calls, or in listen-only mode.</div>
