We’re delighted to announce that on October 1, Andrew Shaindlin will join Switchboard as Vice President. Switchboard is an award-winning engagement platform based in Portland, Oregon that works with with leading colleges, universities, and independent schools across the world. Andy makes this transition building on his role as advisor to Switchboard for the last four years.
I’m proud to announce our newest feature: goals. With goals, Switchboard is now the only engagement platform that helps institutions set and track engagement goals across teams. This feature has been five years in the making. I want to share why it is one of the most important and industry-changing benefits we offer and why, after hundreds conversations with industry leaders, we’ve discovered it is mission critical for any institution making strategic investments in community engagement.
We're excited to share our first partnership with a school overseas—The American School in London. The K-12 school is internationally recognized, and with about 1,300 students and 13,000 alumni, its community is the size of a small college's.
Hundreds of those alumni are already using the ASL Switchboard to exchange advice and opportunities.
We asked ASL's Director of Online Communications Liz Allen to shared why she and her team chose Switchboard and how they're using it now.
With some design help from MetaLab, the company that designed Slack, the Switchboard dev team has been hard at work build our shiny new analytics dashboard and member directory.
The new dashboard makes it easier than ever to measure your community's activity and put Switchboard to work for your office's other initiatives.
