SCORE Engage: Our New CRM System

We are excited to reveal the brand of the new CRM system, rolling out next year. The name, SCORE Engage, emphasizes the improved quality of engagement that the system will facilitate between the users and SCORE through the three major journeys - volunteer, mentoring, and event.



The system is built on industry-leading, modern technology that is designed to be intuitive and mobile-friendly. This provides an easy software experience for volunteers. To provide a more engaging and effective experience for clients, SCORE Engage helps chapters and volunteers focus more on the client experience by standardizing key processes, providing a top-flight scheduling tool, automating reminders and notifications, enabling easy in-chapter and cross-chapter referrals, and more. 
 
SCORE Engage will be able to understand the different roles played by each volunteer and tailor the features and functions available to that volunteer accordingly. There will be no need to have a log in for each role.
 
In addition to the key factors above, SCORE Engage will also help better the mentor match process, provide better insight into chapter performance through reports and data exports, improve satisfaction in serving others, provide a better experience for new volunteers, better integration between systems and data, and so much more. 
 
We are on schedule to start roll out in the Fall of this year. We will be in touch soon to ask for your preferred timing within the rollout schedule. Stay tuned!

Centralized Accounting Update

As you know, we are in the process of  centralizing our accounting . In doing so,  we aim to reduce the burden on SCORE chapter chairs and treasurers in terms of reporting requirements and bookkeeping and clerical duties. Chapters maintain control over how, when , and where they spend and raise their monies. We are regularly communicating about this in a monthly Accounting Bulletin. To see the past newsletters, click here for January and February issues. 
Onboarding Program Monthly Webinars

On a monthly basis SCORE Headquarters' onboarding team hosts a webinar to share resources and answer questions about the new program. The next webinar date and topic is listed on the "Recruitment and Onboarding" page of the Volunteer Center. Once you are logged in to CORE/the Volunteer Center at https://core.score.org/user, click here. Webinars are held the third Thursday of the month at 1 p.m. ET. 

Workshop Growth Webinar

Join us on February 28th to learn helpful tips for starting and growing your workshop program. This webinar is specifically tailored to new chapters or chapters who are struggling to build their workshop services, but all chapters are invited. There will be plenty of time for Q&A!

 

National Account Rollout

As part of the accounting centralization, the HQ office has secured several National Accounts for Chapter use. Office Depot, Panera, and P.F. Changs are now ready for you to order from!  Click Here to find instructions to set up your individual chapter accounts.
