What is WESA?

WESA stands for Web-Enabled Statistical Analysis. Goodwill Manasota’s WESA Team will work with your staff, and associated vendors to automate sales, donor, and labor data into WESA.  
 
We strive to provide strategic and responsive consulting services to your team and be there throughout the implementation process and beyond. Even though we believe WESA is user-friendly, we also understand that working with new technology may be challenging and cumbersome at times. We truly believe in open lines of communication, and we’ll be available for thorough follow-up. 

Areas of Alignment

We are completely open and flexible to accommodate these focus sessions to best fit your needs and objectives, but it’s important to understand that the power of WESA lies in its ability to align donors, labor, and sales throughout the organization.  Through WESA we have been able to foster a performance-oriented culture of development and growth—driving results, stewardship, engagement, and career development, and we are excited to help support your team as you embark on this journey!
