Southern Colorado Economic District Empowered By NewOrg Platform Integration

The Southern Colorado Economic Development District (SCEDD) is at the forefront of fostering economic growth and addressing development challenges across southern Colorado. By acting as a conduit between federal, state, and local governments, SCEDD plays a pivotal role in enhancing the economic landscape of urban and rural areas within the region. Its efforts are focused on several key areas including broadband, workforce development, affordable housing, infrastructure, small business development, and parks and recreation.

SCEDD's comprehensive approach to economic development is designed to support local communities in accessing a variety of resources. These include grant and loan funding opportunities, administrative and technical assistance, as well as data and technology resources. The district's strategic initiatives are encapsulated in its Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS), which aims to meet the diverse needs of its stakeholders across 13 counties.

Leslie Mastroianni, the Executive Director of SCEDD, highlighted the importance of the NewOrg Platform in streamlining their operations. "The NewOrg Platform was the missing piece in our efforts to ensure we meet the needs of our stakeholders," Mastroianni stated. This platform has enabled SCEDD to effectively manage and maintain up-to-date records of their members, daily attendance, systems advocacy assistance, grant administration assistance, and more.

The collaboration with NewOrg Management System, Inc. has introduced a one-stop data management solution that addresses SCEDD’s need for a unified system to track its diverse services and stakeholders. The NewOrg team has assisted SCEDD in establishing processes for documenting meetings, roadshows, and resource fairs. Additionally, it has enabled effective reporting on activities and communications with organizations across 13 counties.

Key features of the NewOrg platform include a grant tracking system that records projects and grant applications efficiently, email communication tools to connect with stakeholders about upcoming events, and an internal message center for team communication regarding events and new clients. This comprehensive system supports SCEDD in delivering services more effectively while tracking progress and facilitating future growth.
