Your Member Directory - Is it Public or Private?

Your Member Directory - Is it Public or Private?

Public directories are a great resource for networking Public directories are a great resource for networking within an industry or region and will generate the most exposure for your members. However, not all organizations want to share their membership data with everyone. If your membership prefers networking as a benefit of membership, you can secure access based on active membership status. Or even lock down visibility to only the site administrators for complete privacy.

Ed Schipul Offers Advice in Latest Edition of Website Magazine

The March 2014 edition of Website Magazine is out, with great guidance for organizations trying to navigate through the process of choosing the right Web design and development partner.

Running a Job Board

Running a Job Board

Running a Job board can be not only a valuable service to your members, but also a money maker for your organization.

Even if you do not charge for listings, the Job board is a great way to network with the community, add value to your membership program, and you can post internal openings within your association.
