Software Transition Project: We’re Migrating to Breeze

Thanks for your messages in support of the software transition project! We’ve made steady progress this past month: recommended and obtained operations team approval of new software and converted, validated, and configured member data (1,348 records!) from the old to the new system called Breeze. We’ll continue to keep stakeholders engaged as we turn our focus to documenting workflows in preparation for training, begin to convert pledge and giving data, and set up financial interfaces. Please address questions to softwareteam@uuoakland.org.
