Communication Directors
Club and association communication directors will mainly use our built-in blast emailing feature, but might also use other modules like forums, news articles and blogs. Much of the data collected at member sign-up is used in various places across your website, so some features might require you to coordinate with other team members to set up best practices as they relate to your organization's members. For example, your organization may want to set up forums based on interests. The Membership Director can collect that interest data from your members at sign-up, to make it easier to create forums. Data collected from members can also be used to configure distribution lists in blast emailing.
Watch all the videos here. Each item contains the link to more information in our online help system, a tutorial and a webinar. Tutorials are shorter (5-15 minutes) and walk you through the function; webinars are longer (40-50 minutes), walk you through the function and contain user questions and answers about the function.
