This information might not be important to you right at this minute... but when your membership number have gone down the toilet and when you ask for volunteer help you see members running for the doors, you’ve got a problem. Associations and chapters need volunteers and they need EFFECTIVE leadership. Trouble is, many people that are solid leaders don’t have the time to spend running inefficient associations. Think about it… how many of your best association members (or potential members) can spend a few hours each week gathering membership names and phone numbers, tabulating financial reports, and filling out nametags for the next event? Usually, the time required for these tasks is more than even the best member can stand... and if you want some way to fix the problems with YOUR LOCAL CHAPTER NOW... then you’ll be glad you saw this message.
So just glance through this information quickly and see if you’ve heard board members and members alike griping about these tasks …
3 Gripes Everyone Has About Working As An Association Board Member
... And How To Get Them Fixed!!!
My name is Ryan Felps, Founder of StarChapter, LLC. We do something for Associations and Chapters that is unique in that we eliminate the problems that most associations have when trying to manage administrative tasks like membership rolls, financial records and reports, newsletters and other communications, and more.
As a matter of fact; most associations have a hard time finding people willing to volunteer for the organization because nobody wants to spend their time with redundant, tedious tasks that waste time. We’ve found that these three problems were a constant frustration to associations everywhere. If you have ever experienced any of these yourself... you’ll soon find that you won’t ever have to again.
1. Taking Over A Board Position Is A Pain In The….. When record keeping isn’t standardized, the outgoing officer takes his or her knowledge of keeping records with them, and it’s hard to get up to speed. Usually it takes several months to really catch up on what’s going on…. And nobody wants to spend hours trying to figure out their job. Why not standardize the record keeping and reporting so that the tasks are automated? Well, now you can.
2. Tracking Payments, Dues, and Financial Reporting Is A Nightmare: Over 70% of the time treasurers spend could be reduced to a few clicks of a button. The biggest frustration to associations is that they don’t know how they stand financially – financial reporting is slow, and board members are not informed of the revenues and cash flow. Until now, they couldn’t really do anything about it.
3. Maintaining Membership Activity Records Is Tedious and Complex: Associations report that many times they have multiple membership records in different locations and formats. They really need someone with about 100 hours of free time to go over all the records, double-check the phone numbers and addresses, and eliminate duplicates. The overall feeling is that nobody is going to take that job – EVER. Better to just get the job done right the first time.
