The Organization is accepting proposals to add a membership portal to
our existing website, http://www.dren.org. We envision a membership portal that provides a robust set of
tools for member interaction and committee collaboration; integrates seamlessly with social media and
mobile devices; features blogging and calendaring functionality; and may provide secure event
registration and membership renewal.
DREN envisions adding a membership portal section that can be divided into subsystems/user groups
and working groups/committees as needed. Based on a single sign in feature, a user would have access
to only their group section which would be a repository, discussion forum and community room. For the
scope of this project we are looking at adding to but not restructuring our existing website. What is a
priority is meeting the WCAG 2.0 Level AA requirements for the AODA legislation. As trainers of AODA
standards and an organization that supports persons with disabilities this is a priority. We would consider
migration to a more flexible and accessible content management system in the future and this can be
addressed in the RFP for future consideration.
