Membership
Database
Do you wish there were an easy way to keep track
of and communicate with members of your organization? A membership
database can help streamline the task of membership management.
When this database is Access-based, you can easily import and
transfer information between Excel and Word, making the job of
addressing newsletters and creating monthly reports simpler.
More importantly, you won't have to change a multitude of files
when a member changes his or her address or phone number.
Many associations can lose members due to a lack
of regular communication. A membership database can make it easier
to stay in contact with your members. A database can be set up so
that contact information such as phone numbers, mailing addresses,
and e-mail addresses can be easily retrieved. This information can
then be used for distributing newsletters, bulletins, and
invitations for upcoming events. Adding volunteer contact
information to your database can ensure that the tasks of
community outreach and event planning are adequately staffed.
Make Your Members Count with a Membership Database
The process of invoicing members and collecting
monthly dues can be simplified using an Access-based membership
database. No longer will you have to worry about sending duplicate
invoices or billing members who have already paid. Because a
database is so easy to use, many of the mundane tasks including
invoicing can be delegated to volunteers or other employees,
enabling you to focus on more important issues and assignments.
BAAC can customize an Access database
for your association. There is a BAAC support package to fit your

Membership Organization
The task of membership organization can be an
overwhelming one. Many organizations keep track of their members
using a variety of different programs and file formats. While this
may be effective initially, problems can be created when it is
unclear which program has the most recent information. When your
information is not up to date, you are not effectively
communicating with your members. How much money has your
organization lost due to invoices being sent to the wrong
addresses?
Data entry can be a time consuming process,
especially when there are multiple lists and files that need to be
updated. Conducting your membership organization tasks on multiple
lists may ease your mind in the event of computer failure, but it
can cause countless headaches when this information has to be
compiled and analyzed for monthly reports or meetings. Imagine how
many work hours your organization would save by doing away with
the task of reconciling each different membership data list.
Membership Organization Is Easy with Association Manager
An Access database can help you organize your
membership quickly and effortlessly. Many groups are afraid of
organizing their information using Access because it can be
difficult to learn and manage. Hiring an independent consultant to
create a database for your association can cost thousands of
dollars, not to mention the time required to train the staff on
how to use Access. With BAAC applications that come with a user's
guide, learning the needed functions occurs quickly.
BAAC can take your existing
membership data and transfer it into an easy to use Access
database. BAAC database programs make
Access easy to use and understand, so that an employee with only
basic computer skills will be able to successfully handle the task
of data entry. BAAC gives you the ability to evaluate their
product in your office or home for a very low cost. BAAC has a variety of membership organization
support programs to fit any budget and any organization,
regardless of scope and size. If you need more information,
