Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

With the addition of a laptop computer, inventory updates can be made by volunteers while monitoring the gift shop instead of on the desktop computer in the director's office. Marketing updates on our Chamber web page, social media, and our web site can be done by volunteers on this laptop. It will allow volunteers to collaborate on marketing ideas. We will ask the director and volunteers to respond to a survey regarding the use of the laptop. We will ask for their feedback regarding ease of use with this laptop as opposed to the former old laptop. We will document their responses. We will ask how they have used the laptop for marketing purposes.

Measurable Outcome(s)

This computer made entering information in Square Up faster and easier. We can run reports from Quick Books we were not able to run before. We have been able to access the website to view and make changes. The old computer was only used for adding/changing inventory in Square Up. It was not fast or safe to use.
