Shenandoah Valley Economic Education, Inc. -- SVEE is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, established in 1983, to promote and enhance economics instruction in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County public schools, K-12, for the Virginia Standards of Learning through the James Madison University Center for Economic Education.

Our client's RFP called for a public marketing-oriented site as well as a management backend for handling awards management. Each year they hold a renowned awards competition rewarding teachers for outstanding commitment to the instruction of economics.

The public site is built using the Joomla CMS and allows SVEE staff to add and edit pages and articles in a blog fashion. Newer items automatically appear on top where appropriate, yet static content remains static.

A custom teacher registration form informs the staff by e-mail of new applicants for the award, and staff can then clear the applicant for participation. Eventually the teacher's entry winds up in a queue of pending submissions which can then be published by staff once it has been decided which entries won.
