San Francisco- "Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm." Abraham Lincoln. The
San Francisco chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women has
joined with MagToGo to make sure the attendees for the "sold out" events always know where
"the right place is." This year the schedule, venues and other event information will now be as close as the attendee's smartphone. Using
their Touchpoint technology, MagToGo has created a mobile event app for
NCBW's "Multicultural 100 Black Women in San Francisco Weekend." Not
only attendees but colleagues, friends and family can all use the app
to stay up to date with the "who," "what," "where," and "when" of the
event.
"It's a great application and serves more than just our weekend guests. As I share the app with the media, I have one less thing to worry about," said Jackie Wright,
National Coalition of 100 Black Women San Francisco Communication
Director and "Bridging the Generations" Event Chairperson. "When
reporters can just look at their cell phone to see if we're at MoAD, the
Lorraine Hansberry Theatre, the Fairmont in San Francisco or Miracles
of Faith Church in Oakland, its less stressful for everyone and we're
more likely to receive coverage if we can be easily found. My hat's off to the MagToGo team. We
came to them with a tight deadline and in less than a week they were
able to put things together for us that includes the ability to see the
PSA airing on CBS5 and CW Bay Area TV. That's Wow Power!"
The
application created for the "The Bridging the Generations National
Coalition of 100 Black Women in San Francisco Weekend" is available at

"We loved working with the San Francisco Chapter of NCBW," said Scott Kaplan, CEO, MagToGo. "They saw the value from the start, but I could tell some members were a little anxious about technology. It was a pleasure to demonstrate that it took a fraction of the effort they were spending on the printed materials."
The
San Francisco Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women
welcomes the "platform for success" as the organization has launched via
the national multicultural call to "Bridging the Generations National
Coalition 100 Black Women in San Francisco Weekend, an employment and
job training program. "Part of the weekend includes our sixth annual 'Golden Girls Hat and Gloves Tea' at the Fairmont with our National President Dr. M. Delois Strum
as keynote speaker and we're using the occasion to launch fundraising
for the "Bridging the Generations Job and Employment Training Program, "
said Dr. Maxine Hickman,
President of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women San Francisco
Chapter. "The program, a national model for NCBW and other nonprofits
will train two adults over 55, three high school to post graduate
students and two long-term unemployed adults under 55 (7 people)
quarterly. We so appreciate MagToGo for helping NCBW get off to a great communications start."
