Audubon Nature Institute improves online registration capability
for its Education Programs
NEW ORLEANS, LA and SARATOGA, CA
– The Audubon Nature Institute (www.audubonnatureinstitute.org),
whose core component of its multi-faceted mission is to “Educate
Our Diverse Audience About the Natural World”, is now
providing online registration & payment capability for all its
Education curriculums via online services provided by
Doubleknot, Inc (www.doubleknot.com).
Education participants will be
able to register and pay for programs, access educational
material and communicate with educators via the Audubon website.
“We are able to add higher value services to our existing web
presence and satisfy our community’s growing demand for online
access to us and our facilities”, says Audubon Nature Institute
President and CEO Ron Forman, “at the same time adhering to our
data protection and privacy policies for youth and others
online.”
Registration is now available to
members and the public for course taught at three of Audubon’s
facilities, the Audubon Zoo, Louisiana Nature Center, and
Aquarium of the Americas. After a review of over 30 solutions,
Audubon chose Doubleknot because of its powerful combination of
flexibility and affordability that addressed the unique needs of
each facility for curriculum/event management, large group
program registration and individual class/event registration.
“This solution will provide the
tool our registrars need to keep up with the growth of our
educational offerings,” said Brenda Walkenhorst, Associate
Director of Zoo Education, “and enable educators to keep in
closer touch with our community via e-newsletters, email
communications, surveys and moderated bulletin boards and
forums.”
“Doubleknot is proud to be
selected by such a prestigious and forward thinking institution
as Audubon. Doubleknot’s suite of online applications is a
perfect fit for their needs and very well suited to nature-based
organizations. As with all our clients, our service is helping
Audubon realize its revenue generating potential and reduce
costs,” says Joe Garappolo, CEO of Doubleknot.
