USING THE SYSTEM
We are always searching for ways to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness in which we are able to provide services to the community. Moving to the RECDynamics system allowed us to upgrade an antiquated database and registration system while allowing our participants to have the ability to create and manage their membership accounts and – in phase two of the implementation of this system – to easily sign up for classes and activities.
The RECDynamics system also allows for easier access of our registered participants to NCS facilities throughout the county and take advantage of different programming opportunities without having to re-register at every facility. The new badging and check-in capabilities afforded through the RECDynamics software also provide an upgraded security measure which is consistent with our priority of ensuring that NCS facilities provide a safe environment for all.
Currently, our users may add/update household and family member information and view recent transaction information. Some memberships can be purchased and/or renewed online.
Coming Soon:
- Search/sign-up for classes, programs and activities; view program enrollment; modify/cancel enrollments.
- Facility Reservations
