MemberHub is being used by Churches, Schools, Nonprofits, YMCAs, Sports Leagues, Clubs and Businesses to engage members and streamline communications with one simple tool.
Think: Group management plus membership management.
Most Church CMS tools are designed to create one online community. MemberHub takes that concept one step further, helping you manage multiple groups.
Let’s look at both sides of MemberHub individually, starting with the online Group Hub.
The Online Group Hub includes a lot of powerful tools. Remember, these can be used for multiple groups.
- Discussion Board
Not just any discussion board, but a discussion board that can operate completely via email. - Text Messaging
Not only can you send everyone in the group announcements via text messaging, but events on the group calendar can be setup to send even reminders, too! - Online Calendars
Each group (or hub), has its own calendar. Some nice options here include iCal subscription feeds and auto reminders via email and text message. - File Sharing
This isn’t just a glorified FTP. Categorize with descriptions, upload notifications and tagging. - Photo Sharing
Create photo albums, post photos, leave comments and download pictures that are large enough for 4×6 printing. - Whiteboards
This is an easy way for groups to create simple signup sheets, brainstorm ideas on a particular topic, or to post additional information for members of their hub. Complete with version tracking, members can edit the whiteboard content or leave comments just like a blog. - Public Join Page
Each hub has an optional web page that can be customized with the hub name, logo, description, member count, and group photo. This allows people to join the hub (group) directly or request to join, based on the administrator preferences.
MemberHub’s group options are very robust and flexible. Coupling that with the capability of creating multiple groups is certainly intense.
The GroupHub is great, but what about the membership management side?
MemberHub packs as much punch as GroupHub, while making it simple to keep member data up-to-date.
- Member Database
Web-based membership management makes it easy for administrators to quickly track custom information about members and view how they are involved. - Online Directory
Provides a searchable and printable online directory of members. The directory uses large profile pictures and will automatically reflect family units if people have been grouped into families. - Custom Fields
Mmmmm, good. Store custom information about members. Create as many custom fields as you need. Field types include text, multiline, numeric, dropdown, checkbox, and date. - Family Profiles
You can group member records into families, specify their relationship in the family and provide family pictures. - Search, Print, & Export Member Data
Easily search member records and print the member listing of the entire database or individual hub. Admins can also export their data into a spreadsheet (.csv format). - Tags
Admin can add tags to hubs and member profiles. These help group people and filter membership lists with ease as well as help communicate with multiple groups at once. - Hub Listing Widget
Creating a hub list widget allows you to easily embed a list of hubs on your web site. This is a great way to allow members to browse hubs and select which groups they would like to join and/or access.
So that’s the awesomeness that is MemberHub.
