Choose whether to visit the calendar or the <br />website, or just scroll down and see what the Hult Center has to offer. <br /> <br />The Hult Center’s website must serve two distinctly different <br />users – ticket buyers and event promoters - and the number of <br />visitors using mobile devices is increasing exponentially. To <br />access the calendar and buy tickets on the old site with a <br />mobile device was a rather bumpy process, and the information <br />for promoters was useful, but didn’t help sell the venue. <br /> <br />Designed to be mobile-friendly and accessible, the new <br />HultCenter.org maximizes the mobile experience without <br />sacrificing the graphics-rich environment needed to show and <br />sell the excitement of live performances at the Hult Center. <br /> <br />Banner images dominate the top of each page, designed to put the viewer in the middle of the action, and encourage ticket <br />sales. Patrons asked for a more robust search feature and a way to jump directly to the full calendar, and both are on the <br />home page. <br /> <br />In addition, the most improved experience is for Hult Center promoters. There is now a comprehensive guide designed to <br />appeal to promoters with touring shows. Brides and event planners also have a special section with beautiful images from <br />weddings and events that show the elegance the Hult Center can add to their special day. A section for business events <br />showcases the variety of spaces and possibilities for meetings and conferences. <br /> <br />Designed to support ticket sales, venue rentals and featuring a fully optimized mobile experience, HultCenter.org is ready <br />for business, no matter where one is.

The session will be led by Tim <br />Armstrong, director of the Non-Profit Management Institute at Lane Community College’s (LCC) Small Business <br />Development Center. <br /> <br />According to Armstrong, “Nothing has a bigger impact on the success of your non-profit as your board of directors.” An <br />effective board is essential to a non-profits’ legality, fundraising, and quality of hired leadership. Board members must <br />achieve and maintain the right mix of responsible oversight and an appropriate level of control. The first step is identifying <br />and engaging individuals with the necessary skills as well as the wisdom, honesty, and spirit of public service to guide an <br />organization through good times and bad. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />September 12, 2013 <br />
