StarChapter was specifically designed to put all the features and functionality a board of directors would need to effectively manage their local chapter of a national association, a small association, and other types of membership-based organizations into one, easy-to-use software application that can be securely accessed from anywhere at anytime, including organizing events and meetings with online registrations and payment processing; administering member and non-member data; managing email communications; controlling website content; transactional and analytical reporting; and much more.

StarChapter’s association management software currently has and will continue to evolve as technology and industry needs evolve, so you and your fellow board members can be confident your organization won't be left behind with out-of-date features and functionality in the years to come.  Board members can accomplish their board responsibilities in a fraction of the time with StarChapter then these administrative tasks have taken in the past.  Transitioning responsibilities to new board members goes smoothly using the StarChapter software service thanks to the easy to use user interface and ongoing training services included with StarChapter.  All of which will insure the current and future board will be in the best position to succeed.

To see these features and functionality in action sign up for a live demo with one of StarChapter's board member consultants.

Some of the features and functionality board members find significant value in are:

Integrated Online Registration Functionality

With StarChapter’s event and meeting registration functionality your members and guests can sign up in just seconds.  The registration feature not only lets you take payment in advance, but it tracks RSVP’s, generates real-time registration reports, sends receipts automatically and invoices at the click of a button, and prints name tags for attendees. Allowing attendees to pay for an event or meeting ahead of time reduces the headaches of collecting payments for unpaid registrations. The registration tools are integrated within the single StarChapter software application, so you can seamlessly use registration results for communications, surveys, growing your prospect database, tracking activities, and more.
