<p>LP of Illinois Board of Directors,</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>The April 2024 IT Division report is attached and linked to our WorkDocs library below:</p>
<p><a href="https://lpofillinois.awsapps.com/workdocs/index.html#/share/document/b561ae8fd9b41c97d03c83ef170b321e586e3f1a987ebb476062cf77f2bad781" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://lpofillinois.awsapps.com/workdocs/index.html#/share/document/b561ae8fd9b41c97d03c83ef170b321e586e3f1a987ebb476062cf77f2bad781</a></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>A few key highlights from this months' report to point out:</p>
<ul>
<li>Convention site - Archived / removed Vendor page. Maintaining 2024 Convention page with past-tense verbiage and option to upload top photos (thanks Lorraine Denardis Albert)</li>
<li>Added new Ballot access petition page to lpillinois.org March 23rd </li>
<li>Onboarding our new IT Division (motions on agenda for 4/23 meeting)</li>
<li>Onboarding/Website updates for new SCC, Executive Committee and Division leaders in other divisions</li>
</ul>
<p><br /></p>
<ul>
<li>Amazon WorkDocs costs are rising and probably not sustainable without significant member / volunteer / financial growth. IT Division will begin looking into alternate library stores for LP of Illinois Document library</li>
<li>Grasshopper Phone service is working well and under budget </li>
</ul>
<p><br /></p>
<ul>
<li>TWO IT Division Calls:
<ul>
<li>March 25:
<ul>
<li>Andy Burns from AB Consulting on options for alternate version of CiviCRM for Illinois</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>April 2:
<ul>
<li>National IT State Admins call which includes details on purpose of Zoho and Aristotle with current CIVI CRM platform which LP of Illinois and 20+ other affiliates use for free</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>KEY Takeaways:</p>
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>Zoho deployment this month is for Fundraising functionality only, will flow into National AND affiliates databases</li>
<li>Current CiviCRM platform is <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>not going away; instead</strong></span> National is planning some upgrades this spring/summer</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Details and notes from both calls are attached, in addition to the usual IT Division notes</p>
<p><br /></p>
<p>Thank you</p>
