Celect.org™ penetrates Canadian faith-based

market with new office opening in TorontoLarry Willard on Advisory Board as Celect.org™ partners with Castle Quay Books

Toronto, ON—Celect.org™, the

leading provider of web-based network

services for membership organizations,

announced the opening of its Toronto-

based subsidiary, VComm Network

Canada, Inc. Located in Toronto’s down-

town core, the new office will employ

12-14 sales and engineering profession-

als by year-end.

Additionally, Celect.org announced

a partnership with Castle Quay Books,

one of Canada’s leading Christian

publishing companies. As part of the

alliance, Castle Quay’s President &

CEO, Larry N. Willard, has joined

Celect’s Advisory Board, under which

he will play a prominent role in introduc-

ing Celect’s technology to the Canadian

market.

Aaron Walker, Chief Development

Officer of VComm Network, Inc., will

lead Celect’s Toronto office.

“We are extremely excited to

provide Canada’s faith-based communi-

ties with the option for a secure hub to

connect with one another online,” said

Walker. “Additionally, we are very

grateful for Larry Willard’s help, and we

look forward to leveraging his experience

in the industry.”

Ideal for churches, denominational

head offices, and para-church ministries,

the Celect.org platform features a “one

click–one system” solution, still await-

ing patent, which empowers users to

build and maintain web sites quickly and

easily.

“I am a strong proponent of the

Celect.org offering, and I believe it will

revolutionize communication for the

faith-based market,” said Willard. “I look

forward to working with the Toronto

team to demonstrate how ministries can

alleviate the need for specialized web

masters, and complex programming

languages, and still maintain their web

sites in a professional manner.”

In continuing to help Celect.org™

make its mark as a pioneer in the

web-based networking services industry,

co-founders Tim & Tony Roth recently

filed a patent application for an

“Organizational Network & System

Method.” This proprietary technology

allows organizations to safely operate

their business and member management

via the Internet.

“Celect’s patent-pending technology

has been specifically developed for

users faced with complex web site

requirements, limited budgets, and

minimal web experience,” said Founder

& Chief Strategy Officer, Tim Roth.

“Designed to efficiently facilitate

communications with the public (as well

as with an organization’s internal

constituency), our technology is the first

of its kind to allow ministry organizations

and churches to create professional sites

for public view – and to provide a

private ‘intranet’ capability that

connects community members behind a

secure access interface.”

Specific features of the Celect.org

platform include member directories,

contact management, member network-

ing, financial management, event

management, member profiling, donation

and fundraising, blogs and forums, real-

time data imports and exports, bulk email,

messaging and e-newsletters, photo

albums, media galleries and podcasts,

online interactive surveys and quizzes,

and full e-commerce storefronts.
