Amanda’s role a secretary of her homeschool group, Heartland Homeschool Association in southeast Missouri included sending emails, newsletters and handling registration for 90 families! It was a large task. Listen to hear how Amanda stayed organized and reduced the full day-long paper registration to an online system that takes only 10 minutes!

  • Some useful tools she uses to send out newsletters and emails.
  • How online registration helped her co-op
  • What board minutes should look like
