It's five o'clock, the day of the big meeting. You've arranged for the caterers, opened up the meeting room, called all the presenters. Then it occurs to you, "who has contacted the members?" All too often, organizations get in a publicity rutt. You've tried and tried to get a good program, you've called as many people as you can, you've delegated phone trees, sent out post cards...and yet no one seems to get the message. Maybe you've lost track of who the current members really are.
It's a challenge to find a system that works for you and for your membership at the same time. You need something that puts you in the driver's seat, rather than making the whole organization wait on the webmaster of the month. You need password-protected services for your membership and a way to track member status and payments. You need a way to send mass mailing on-line without worrying if your list is complete and up-to-date.

Death by Committee
You CAN'T do it all by yourself. You've got to find a way to get your board and members more involved or you're just going to BURN OUT! Members are losing interest. Board members are the only ones showing up to meetings, but they don't know much more than the members about what's going on. When it's time for elections and someone asks "what does this job entail," do you know what to tell them, or is it just a paper title?
Get Them Involved
It's about your infrastructure. You need an on-line presence that's more than just a dot-COM address. Make it the repository of all your member resources, the common meeting place they can always find, the networking tool on the Net, the exchange center of your organization. Our web applications can give everyone a purpose in the organization.
Baby Steps to Empowerment
Even with the best web applications, it's a challenge to get people involved. We can offer training, both in small groups and in your regular meetings. We can introduce the system a little at a time. We can customize features to be more applicable to your needs. We'll help you integrate your membership lists and other data into the system, and after it's in there, we can show you how to keep it updated and how to extract information out again.
