Optimist club technology chair who moved youth programs off paper forms
Kenji Albrecht is a software project manager and Optimist club member in Sacramento. He helps clubs replace paper forms and email chains with tools any volunteer can maintain.
Kenji Albrecht has managed software projects for state agencies for 15 years. He joined his local Optimist club in 2017 after coaching in one of its youth basketball leagues, and became the club’s technology chair the following year.
The club ran an oratorical contest, an essay contest, and two youth sports leagues on paper forms, a shared spreadsheet, and a phone tree. Kenji moved registrations to an online form, set up a shared calendar, and wrote a two-page guide so that any volunteer could update the club website. Youth program registrations rose from 180 to 310 over three seasons, and the club recruited 11 members from league parents who found it through the updated site.
