For Immediate Release Going Green: Girl Scouts of Northern California Launch Doubleknot-Based Online Program Registration & Rental Reservation Technology SAN JOSE, CA – Girls Scouts of Northern California (GSNorCal) have launched a new eco-friendly online registration system using technology from Doubleknot, a leading provider of software and services to Scouting and other non-profit organizations. GSNorCal offers online registration for its program events, adult learning courses, and property rentals to 50,000 girls and 31,000 adult members dispersed over a 19-county region in Northern California. “As Girl Scouts, we’re green by nature,” says Marina Park, CEO of GSNorCal, “so it’s natural that we provide the latest tools to our members that are easy, secure and environmentally friendly.” After an extensive RFP process, Doubleknot was selected by GSNorCal based on its comprehensive solution offering, flexible technology, and experience with Scouting. “Of all the vendors we reviewed, Doubleknot was the right fit and the right price for us,” says Michelle Purviance, Senior Director, Business Operations for GSNorCal. “Plus we had confidence that they would be able to meet our 30-day implementation time frame.” Leaders and participants will be able to register for an event or reserve a rental property, submit emergency contact and other vital information, and pay via credit card or by using Council-issued gift cards. Office staff can manage registration and financial data as well as keep registrants informed about program details and changes via Doubleknot’s built-in broadcast email tool. “The Girl Scouts are an organization that very much fits into our strategic vision,” stated John Rees, President of Doubleknot. “Like Red Cross chapters, zoos and aquariums, and Boy Scout councils, Girl Scouts are yet one more non-profit that uses programs and Doubleknot’s technology to deliver their mission.” About Doubleknot Doubleknot, a leading provider of affordable, subscription-based applications, tools and support services, currently works with over 1,200 Civic & Social, Business & Professional, Political & Religious Organizations and Associations.
