We want to welcome you to our latest newsletter, the first of 2022. We’re so excited to have you here!

As the shortest month of the year comes to an end, we’re trying to accept Punxsutawney Phil’s declaration of six more weeks of winter.

Hopefully our latest news and new features will brighten up your winter, no matter your weather.

We Have a New Executive Director 

It is my pleasure to announce that Beth VanderMeer is now officially the Executive Director of Non-Profit Software Corporation.  For now, Beth is also fulfilling her previous duties in sales and marketing, customer service, and product management, with assistance from Jessica Mobley.

This is a big milestone in the growth and evolution of NPSC.  We couldn’t have found a better leader to take the helm, as Beth’s enthusiasm, commitment, and energy encourage us to continually do better and go further.

I gladly continue with NPSC as technical architect, lead software engineer, and member of the Board of Directors.  I want to thank everyone for their part in making this dream come true.

Online Referrals

We are so excited to be offering Online Referrals.  Now guests, social workers, etc., can access a referrals page through a public website and fill in the standard information, which can include:

  • Patient Details
  • Patient Address
  • Estimated Stay Dates
  • Guest Info and Additional Information

This form is highly customizable, and we look forward to seeing how different houses use it.

Once the information is submitted, it gets directed to a new Referrals tab in HHK. From there staff will be able to access the info and a new reservation can be created.
