The D5500 DACdb Task Force, composed of 23 club and district members and officers with various backgrounds, have been comparing ClubRunner and DACdb funtionality and costs to determine the advisabilty (or inadvisability!) of moving from ClubRunner to DACdb, at least at the district level (clubs will have the option).
