Site of the Week
This week's pick is the North County Health Services site by listener Michael J Ross. According to Michael, "The site incorporates a workflow system to allow different departments to manage changes to the site, and it also integrates CiviCRM, so the staff members can contact past donors and potential donors, as well as announce community events and services provided by NCHS."
