No one wants to be a part of an organization where they are just a number. People join membership organizations to feel like they are part of a community and something bigger than themselves. Just being a nameless face in the crowd can be disheartening and can lead to people not renewing their membership.
Your local chapters are at the front lines with your organization's membership, so it's critical to have the right tools in place to ensure member data is organized from the start. When the data is solid on the local level, this cascades to so many advantages for the entire organization.
Celebrating our wins is important and acknowledging gaps that can hinder our growth, equally so. If you sit back and wait for the challenges to arise before you address them, you will start to lag behind. On the other hand, you'll find that staying ahead of the curve means operations run more smoothly and issues are addressed while they are only molehills instead of mountains!
With chapters spread across the country or the globe, getting everyone to work together in concert is like conducting an orchestra. Each individual section makes up a portion of the organization as a whole, but together, you create a symphony of music. It's all about the smaller, local groups working together to create something wonderful as one cohesive organization.

You and your organization rely on the smooth flow of communication between members to share important information. If your emails are being blocked or identified as spam, it creates a disconnect in your organization because important details may be missed.
Engaged members are more satisfied, see value in their membership, and participate in more activities. But, how do you create an experience that’s truly meaningful to your members?
Whether your association is competing to hire staff or is running a membership drive, your success rates with both depend largely on how your organization is perceived by your audience. And how they perceive has a lot to do with your organization's branding.
The bread and butter of any association are its members. While it is equally important to ensure your staff is set up for success, strong, positive feedback from your members is what ultimately dictates and drives success for your association.
One of the best things you can do to increase traction and trust with your members is to create a powerful user community, which helps maximize the value members get from your association.
We often see associations apply a number of strategies to recruit members only to see their retention levels decline. More often than not, it’s the new members that joined in the last year that decide to leave the organization.
