Association Management Software Reviews

An association management system serves as a database of contact data. It is intended for use by organizations such as professional associations, chambers of commerce and industry trade organizations.

By storing constituent data in a central location, associations can streamline the handling of constituent requests and automate common processes, including:

• Subscription renewals
• Event registration
• Class sign-ups
• Publication submittals

An AMS also gives managers immediate access to the most up-to-date member data, which can help guide decision-making.

• Dues and Subscription Management - Dues are the lifeblood of association and association management systems take care of the critical task of dues billing and collection.
• Conference and Event Management - This feature enables the association to plan simple (one-day, webinars, etc) and complex events (i.e. multi-day conferences), process registrations and payments and send confirmations
• Committee Management - Enable staff to track committee and sub-committee members and organize by position.  It also provides facilities for committee interaction and communication as well as the ability to record minutes and notes on the committees.

• Web Based Self Service Portal - This portal is blended into the association’s web site and typically a single sign-on is built so that the member has only one login to manage.
