This spring we hopped in our time machine to bring the Oregon-Idaho Conference of The United Methodist Church website into the modern age. Its last face lift was nearly a decade ago, so we were excited to introduce some of our newfangled modern features — like custom content snippets, video embeds and responsive design.
For our UMC customers, annual conferences (and special sessions) are just around the corner, which means so is the headache of managing voting information for conference members. Join us and a panel of special guests at 1 p.m. EST on Wednesday, April 26, as we explore ways the Brick River system makes tracking voting status and distributing credentials a breeze.

Check out this article how to use the field and included best practices from a Conference Secretary. Read more ?
