Charles River Web Connections (CRWC) has recently launched the next phase in the database management system for New England Trail Riders Association (NETRA), according to R.J. Sherman, CRWC Director. “In this long anticipated phase, NETRA members will be able to log onto the members’ only section of the website, update their personal data, and check their rankings and promotion points. In the meantime, NETRA officers and race officials can post news of events (such as cancellations and time/date changes) in a more efficient, timely manner.” Sherman indicated. “Manual compilation of the overall season standings and promotion points are a thing of the past, as the system automatically calculates the rankings when an event’s results are posted.” The creation of this system will free NETRA’s executive director and staff from the data input function and allow them to pursue other activities that the NETRA Board has identified as priorities.

Charles River Web Connections (CRWC) is pleased to announce that it has now been retained to create the websites for 5 Cornell University alumni classes: 1973, 1975, 1978, 1982 and 1984. “We are excited to support Cornell in this manner. Each of these classes represents a challenge, as it is in a different place in the five year cycle that occurs between reunions.” says RJ Sherman, CRWC Director. “The emphasis in each year is slightly different, building up to and culminating in the 5th year when all focus is on encouraging alumni classmates to attend their reunion.” Additional challenges for the CRWC web team have been the need “to maintain common standards and branding of the university while creating individually distinctive sites, and working with volunteer webmasters and class officers.”
