Session Objective

Sam asked whether the website should have a standalone Community menu tab with dropdown pages for Sam Cares, NIL, U of L Brandeis, disaster relief, school sponsorships, community giving, athlete partnerships, local events, and related stories.

What Was Accomplished

• Reviewed the named superpowers:executing-plans skill. There was no written implementation plan to execute, so the session stayed in strategy and information architecture.
• Used the brainstorming posture because the request involves website structure, page families, content hierarchy, and future design work.
• Checked the current public website source. The live nav still places Sam Cares under About Us, and there is no visible standalone Community top-level nav item.
• Queried WordPress REST search for existing related content. Found the live Sam Cares page, existing Sam Cares subpages for Taylor Swift, flood deliveries, Christmas for sixty children, and related posts such as the 2024 giving recap and Dare to Care meal packing.
• Checked Notion for prior context. Relevant notes show the Sam Cares page was recently redesigned, low-energy partner lists were removed, and the form was moved lower on the page with QA. A Marketing Center handoff also classified NIL as marketing, community sponsorships as countable sponsorships, and donations separately.

Recommendation

Build a top-level Community hub and move Sam Cares into that structure rather than treating Sam Cares as the whole community story. Sam Cares should become one page family inside a larger community architecture.

Suggested structure:

• /community/ as the parent hub
• /community/sam-cares/ for the emotional giving and volunteer story
• /community/name-image-likeness/ for NIL athletes, U of L and Bellarmine partnerships, athlete profiles, and youth events
• /community/education/ for U of L Brandeis, scholarships, schools, youth programs, and student events
• /community/disaster-relief/ for flood relief, emergency drives, and crisis response
• /community/school-sponsorships/ for the 50+ schools and organizations, with proof, logos, and filters
• /community/events/ for ticket giveaways, basketball attendance programs, coat drives, local events, and community outings
• /community/media/ or /community/press/ for WDRB, WAVE, press releases, Taylor Swift stories, and verified coverage
