[OMS_MANAGERS] FW: Downtown Database

[Jonathan Stone]

I suggest that one of our quarterly trainings is brainstorm session that we
can then turn into a usable product (with some developer support). A
combination of Salesforce (free for non-profits), Quickbooks Online, and
another technology or two may not only solve individual Main Street
organizational problems but put power in the hands of volunteers and help
standardize how data is collected and managed at the state and national
levels. (Not to mention we might be able to sell the product to other
states!) Imagine being able to update information from your smartphone!
