Background
Kevin runs his lake association and has successfully guided the community to achieve most of its goals and objectives. While the association is thriving, Kevin is always looking for ways to be more effective, strategic, and organized in reaching new objectives and engaging stakeholders.
The Challenge
Even with a well-functioning association, Kevin faces ongoing challenges:
- He wants to elicit more citizen science, more participation from the community to produce more data on the lake of higher spatio-temporal resolution
- He needs the ability to manage subscribers/contributors effectively, so he can remove people if they don't abide by the Lake Pulse guidelines
- He needs editorial control over the Lake Pulse App to publish announcements, newsletters, and updates with clarity
- He wants comprehensive access to data and analytics to guide decision-making
- He wants to provide resources to members so the entire community can participate more effectively
Without the right tools, Kevin’s efforts rely heavily on manual coordination, scattered spreadsheets, and inconsistent reporting — which can slow progress toward new goals.

Kevin upgrades to the Lake Pulse Admin subscription, which includes all features from lower subscription levels plus advanced tools designed for lake leaders:
