5 Features To Look For In An Association Management System

The market for association management systems is extensive.

So, how do you find the right partner and product for your association? Education programs should be designed to benefit members with modular flexibility, association-specific technology, and several key features. To be sure you choose the right LMS for your association, consider the following features:

1. Single Sign-On eliminates the need for multiple passwords and can be easily integrated into your association management system.
2. Ease of Use will diminish technical support calls and boost learner completion rates.
3. Meeting and Conference Capability allows sessions to be tracked and applied with accreditation, if applicable. Through certain types of association based LMS, users can register for conferences, submit evaluations, download certificates, and claim credits – all within the system.
4. Integrated Member Profiles enable associations to capitalize on the investment made in their management system by integrating rosters, roles, credentials, membership status, and previous learning history.
5. Reporting to Accrediting Bodies ensures that module completion is sent directly from the AMS to a third-party accreditor. This automated feature eliminates the need to compile and submit information manually.

Finding An Association Management System That Accumulates In Value

Associations that offer these LMS features can increase association value by building member loyalty. Likewise, associations that invest in targeted LMS will appeal to new members by offering public-facing educational activities. AMS should be considered an ongoing investment – one that will increase revenue by selling to members and the public.
