MemberClicks announces leadership transition (printable version)

ATLANTA - JUNE 28 10, 2011 - MemberClicks today announced that Founder and President/CEO Thomas Howard will be stepping aside from his position at the end of the month, and that Vice President of Business Development Mark Sedgley will assume the role.

After the transition, Howard plans to remain active on a part-time basis with the business, focusing on its strategic direction as well as special marketing projects.

Howard founded the company in 1998 to help small-staffed membership organizations leverage the web for membership management and community-building. With nearly 1,400 customers throughout North America, Australia and the U.K., MemberClicks has grown to be the leading provider of web-based membership software for organizations with 10 or fewer staff members.

After successfully leading sales teams at Cardinal Health for three years, Sedgley joined MemberClicks in 2004 as Director of Sales. In 2008, he was promoted to Vice President of Business Development. "Over the years, Mark has become a vibrant part of the association marketplace," Howard said. "He's passionate about educating small-staff associations and truly understands that it takes a unique approach to serve them," he added. Sedgley currently serves on ASAE's Small Staff Committee and is actively involved on their innovation taskforce.

"I am both humbled and excited by the opportunity in front of MemberClicks. Under Thomas' leadership, all of us at MemberClicks have benefited greatly. While at the same time, he has deepened not only our understanding of the association space but more importantly how to serve it in a refreshing and simple way. I look forward to working with each of our team members in continuing that tradition and pushing it even further."

"I couldn't be more excited about the future of MemberClicks and the opportunities we have in front of us," Howard said. "After 13 years, it's time to pass the baton and leverage a new skill set. There's no doubt that Mark is a natural born leader and will help the company reach its ultimate potential. I can't wait to watch and be a part of it."

ATLANTA - APR. 20, 2011 - MemberClicks, the leading provider of websites and membership software for small to medium-sized organizations is proud to announce the launch of their new social community engine that empowers organization members to interact with each other more than ever before.

The new system, available to current customers at no additional charge, allows members to connect with each other to share information, photos, posts, membership actions and more. Further, members can create new "Circles" of users organically to give members an easy way to communicate with each other to further the goals of the organization.

The new MemberClicks social community allows connected users to share their actions within the member community. This promotion of visibility to actions members take within the community allows members to see the life of the organization in real time - a departure from the more static member areas that many association management software provides. This visibility is designed to increase member participation and retention.

"By providing a robust online area for members to interact, organizations empower their members to further the organization's goals through the power of community," said Kevin Patrick, Director of Product Experience. "It allows organizations to exponentially increase member communication by removing barriers for end users and providing a place to connect."

MemberClicks announces launch of open application programming interface (API) (printable version)

ATLANTA, GA. DEC. 9, 2010 - MemberClicks, the foremost provider of association management software for small-staff associations, is excited to announce the launch of the new MemberClicks application programming interface (API) that allows developers to build applications that interface with MemberClicks services and data.

The open API provides customers an easy way to access and update membership and event data from their solution while eliminating the need for administrators to manually enter data. Clients relying on multiple data systems can now connect them directly to their MemberClicks product and have changes made in one system move seamlessly to the other.

The API also offers push notification services that can be triggered by member or administrative actions on an organization's website. Form submissions, changes made to user profiles and newly created events can be instantly sent out to external systems without additional work for the administrator.

Many clients have already taken advantage of the new API and have connected 3rd party tools to their MemberClicks solutions. A client registering vendors for an annual conference has used the form submission notification service to push booth selection information directly to an external event planning system. Other clients using secondary databases have used the API to automatically push membership data updates made via their websites to their back office data solutions. For any organization currently using disparate data systems, the new API provides an excellent avenue to connect them. This will simplify association operations, eliminate manual entry and ensure data integrity across all systems while saving time for the staff.

Created by MemberClicks' internal development team, the MemberClicks API is available free of charge to all MemberClicks clients. For more information and documentation, please contact the MemberClicks Help Team at help@memberclicks.com.

ATLANTA - MARCH 24, 2010 - MemberClicks, the foremost membership software provider for small-staff associations, is proud to announce the winners of its Great Small-Staff iPad Giveaway.

"Each entry was thoughtful and intriguing, and we believe these four will provide excellent case studies on the potential impact of the iPad in the small-staff association community," President Thomas Howard said.

The following winners represent a variety of organization sizes, both in membership and staff.

The National Urban League Young Professionals is a volunteer auxiliary of the National Urban League with 7,000 members. President Barton J. Taylor wrote in great detail that the iPad will help "track meeting attendance, volunteer hours and fundraising amounts in real time and correct record errors," as well as "manage member benefits and potentially acquire new benefits by demonstrating to potential vendors how we interface with our members through MemberClicks."

Women Entrepreneurs in Science and Technology is a nonprofit organization with more than 500 members. "We have no full-time employees, and only two of us who are part-time consultants for the organization," President Gwen Acton wrote. Her entry explained how the iPad would "save time and change our registration process at our monthly events," and "could also be a powerful recruiting tool."

The Association of Test Publishers is a member-run trade association that represents more than 125 providers of tests and assessment tools and is run on a staff of two. Lauren Scheib's entry included how the organization is "looking forward to continuing to streamline our member communications, our conference planning, our public relations efforts, our board communications - all through the use of enhanced technology."

The Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association is a small-staff professional organization with more than 1,200 members. Ashley Crist's entry included, "we'd like to be able to conduct a MemberClicks training session during which an iPad would be passed among the attendees." Additionally, "shifting from paper to electronic registration check-in (at our annual conference) would be less confusing and time-consuming."

"This is just the beginning," Howard added. "By following each organization's journey with the iPad to explore its uses will benefit the entire small-staff organization community and help us all learn how the iPad will affect associations."

The winners will be notified and then will be regularly featured on MemberClicks' Splash blog, which explores small-staff association management issues.

MemberClicks turns customer ideas into reality, now supports e-check payments (printable version)

ATLANTA - MAY 1, 2009 - After a customer's idea gained popularity on MemberClicks' IDEAs forum, the association management software company has updated its product to allow users to collect e-check payments. MemberClicks has partnered with Coastal Software to offer its customers an additional method of payment collection.

"It's something that's been in demand for awhile now," Vice President of Operations Brandon Wycherley said. "It's much easier than accepting a paper check, and is cheaper than credit card processing."

MemberClicks' IDEAS forum is a popular interactive tool for existing customers to post and vote on new ideas and additions to the product. After the e-check payment idea garnered several favorable votes on the forum, MemberClicks' Product Development team worked with Coastal Software and the software company now offers the service at a minimum cost through the MemberClicks forms.

"We love taking feedback from our customers and turning them into realities," Director of Product Experience Kevin Patrick said.

E-check payment processing is available to all customers, new or existing.
