Case Study: Keystone Teachers Association (KEYTA)
Background
The Keystone Teachers Association (KEYTA) has been a valued client of NDHosting since August 2015. As a non-profit organization, KEYTA is dedicated to advocating for the rights and interests of teachers in the Keystone State.
Since our partnership began, we have worked closely with KEYTA to enhance their online presence and streamline their internal processes, helping them effectively serve their members and promote their mission.
Initial Collaboration and Website Development
When we first started working with KEYTA, their online presence was limited. They needed a comprehensive website to communicate with members and showcase their initiatives. Our team collaborated with KEYTA to develop a user-friendly website that provided essential information and served as a platform for member engagement.
We created two websites for them: keyta.org, which focuses on the association’s activities and resources, and keytafoundation.org (formerly mapefoundation.org), dedicated to their foundation’s initiatives.
This dual-website approach allowed KEYTA to manage and promote its various programs and services effectively.
Customized Membership System and Online Registration Forms
Recognizing the importance of efficient membership management, we developed a personalized membership system tailored to KEYTA’s specific needs. This system lets members easily sign up and renew their memberships online, simplifying the registration process and ensuring that KEYTA can effectively track and manage member information.
By implementing online registration forms, we have streamlined the collection and sorting of member data, allowing KEYTA to focus on its advocacy efforts rather than administrative tasks.
Email Migration and Management
At the outset of our partnership, we assisted KEYTA with migrating its email services to Google Workspace. This transition provided them with a secure and efficient platform for communication, enabling teachers and staff to collaborate seamlessly.
Our team ensured the migration process was smooth and all members were trained to utilize the new system effectively. This support has been instrumental in enhancing communication within the organization and fostering community among its members.
Ongoing Support and Training
In addition to the initial setup and development services, we continue to provide KEYTA with technical support. This includes assisting with printing materials, resolving technical issues, and offering training to ensure their team can manage their websites and online documentation independently.
Our training sessions have empowered KEYTA staff to take ownership of their digital platforms, enabling them to confidently maintain and update their websites.
Social Media Engagement and Support
For some time, NDHosting assisted KEYTA with social media posting, helping them engage with their audience and promote their initiatives. By leveraging social media platforms, KEYTA was able to reach a wider audience and effectively communicate its message to both current and potential members.
This engagement is crucial for non-profit organizations like KEYTA, as it fosters community involvement and raises awareness about important issues affecting teachers.
Final Thoughts
The partnership with the Keystone Teachers Association exemplifies our commitment to supporting non-profit organizations in achieving their goals. Through website development, customized membership systems, email management, and ongoing support, we have helped KEYTA enhance its operations and better serve its members.
As KEYTA continues to advocate for teachers and promote educational initiatives, NDHosting is proud to be a trusted partner in their journey.
