'By utilizing GetActive’s tools for website management, email marketing, and listserve management, we’re able to serve both our membership and the nonprofit community in new ways,' said Chris Johnson, ACN President. 'As a volunteer-run organization, ACN needed a solution that would easily enable multiple people with various levels of technical skill to add content to the website to keep the material fresh and inviting.
