Ah…the New Year. A Fresh Start. A Second Chance. A New Beginning.

I recently launched a new WordPress Website for a local nonprofit called Elder Resource Association—South of the River. They serve the senior communities in Burnsville, Savage, Lakeville, etc. Their website was ready for a new look, so we worked to get the content updated as well as the design and how it looks visually.

During our initial conversation, they said that managing their nonprofit membership was a challenge. They were outgrowing their excel spreadsheet. I mentioned I had worked with MembershipWorks for some past clients. MembershipWorks is an online platform that manages your member database, sends out automatic email renewal reminders, allows for an online membership directory,  accepts online payments, provides financial reports and event management. We did a demo of the software and they were as impressed with it’s capabilities as I am, so we implemented that into their website as well. We worked quickly in November to get all of this done before their January 1 annual renewal date. Read my MembershipWorks profile and reviews.

Here’s what Kathy Quinby-Johnson of Senior Care Authority had to say,

“Michelle did an amazing job helping our group, Elder Resource Association South of the River, design a new website. As we defined the things we wanted members to be able to do on the site, Michelle recommended MembershipWorks as a tool we should consider and then she managed the steps to integrate it with our site. Michelle is great to work with. She listens carefully to her clients, makes solid recommendations to solve their needs and then implements the project with ease. None of us that worked with her are techies, and she made it so easy. We could not have done this without Michelle’s help. I highly recommend Michelle for this type of project. Call her! You’ll be glad you did!”

If you are part of a nonprofit organization that you think could use help keeping your nonprofit membership database organized and managing your event registrations, give me a call. I’d love to help. Visit my Services page to learn more about what I offer to nonprofits and small businesses.

When Linda McNulty was on the Board of the Wickenburg Art Club in AZ, here’s what she said about implementing MembershipWorks for their nonprofit organization,

“The Wickenburg Art Club was delighted to discover Michelle Aspelin’s expertise, helping the club transition to MembershipWorks in order to manage the club’s membership on their website. Michelle worked with the board of directors, training them to use the program to its fullest with an excellent PowerPoint tutorial and was always available to answer every question. We simply couldn’t have done it without her!”

I can also add MailChimp for your email marketing so it integrates with your membership database automatically. Connect with me to learn more!
