  1. Improve Event Registration process for non-members

    The issue: We currently do not have a way for non-members to register/RSVP for Ms events that are open to the public. Our process requires guests to create a guest account before they can register for an open event, which can be a barrier or deterrent. On the back-end, this process makes managing an event roster nearly impossible as the "Add People to Event Roster" requires a member name to be added first. If there is no Current Path with the guest's name, you can't proceed.

  2. Create "add to calendar" link in registration confirmation email

    A link for iCal or google calendar so that when registrants get a confirmation email they can immediately put it on their personal calendar. Primarily thinking about events, but would be great for trips too!

  3. Link event tickets to a salesforce revenue campaign as they are purchased

    The fundraising team would love it if there was a way to link event ticket purchases to a specific campaign as they came in so we can track revenue and ensure it is assigned to a specific fundraising effort and communicate with accounting if it needs to be assigned to a specific funding need. This would be similar to how we set up donation pages to assign to a specific campaign.

  4. Remove volunteer ages from Committee Meeting rosters

    A few months ago the ages of volunteers started showing up in the rosters for committee meetings (see screenshot). I'm guessing this may have been added to support youth, but most adults consider their age to be private information.

    Event rosters are viewable by anyone who has admin access, and it's common for many committee members to have admin access for various reasons. For this reason, committee rosters are basically public to the committee. Publishing everyone's ages does not seem appropriate.

    This does not seem to be a problem specific to committee meetings. Most adults do not want the age…

  5. Event Tickets Timing-Out in Cart

    The problem: Event rosters are not entirely accurate because if an individual adds a ticket to their cart and the cart times out, they are automatically moved to ‘canceled.’ Sometimes this is okay if the order of operations is such that the ticket times out and then after they register again. However, if it’s the other way around (purchase ticket, go to purchase another, times out) they show up as canceled where they should still stay registered. This seems to create duplicate entries on the event roster.

    Why it matters: This has implications for staff and volunteers managing events because…
