New communication tools and website freshens the
AAMD brand and introduces new member features
L
ast month, AAMD introduced a brand new website with a new look
and features to optimize your member experience! Along with the
new website, AAMD has upgraded the way it communicates with
members by utilizing MailChimp.
MailChimp is the industry standard in today's email communication,
and utilizing it will result in better email communication with our members
and their teams.
These new tools, along with a new increased social media presence, are
a huge upgrade for the Association as we move into our 50th anniversary
year in 2018.
What Does this Mean For You?
In order to take full advantage of all of them, here are three things you
can do:
1. Check with your I.T. team to make sure the domain aamdhq.org is
whitelisted, which will enable important communication to reach
your team and not get stuck in spam filters.
2. Activate your profile on AAMD's new website. Simply hit "Join"
at the top of the page, then "Create My Profile" since your com-
pany is already a member. Follow instructions from there. Encour-
age your teams to do the same.
3. Finally, find AAMD on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, follow
them, and engage. As we would like our residents to engage with
us, AAMD would like its members to engage with them.
What's New on the Website?
On page 7, you'll find a full tour of the new AAMD homepage, but here
are a few of the new or enhanced features of the site I'd like to highlight:
MemberCompass
Once you create your profile, you'll be granted access to MemberCompass,
a unique new member system that provides you the opportunity to:
» » Add and edit your team (even the people on-site!)
» » View past receipts and invoices
» » Add company profile, additional information and company logo
» » View events and seminars that you are currently registered for

Online Directory
The new member directory makes it easier to find AAMD suppliers, see
member-to-member discounts, identify companies by their areas of expertise
and search for people within organizations.

Get all the information you need about an event or seminar and easily
register on the new site.
1. Add events to your calendar (Google, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud)
2. Register you and your team (even if they're on-site!)
3. Share the event or seminar on Face
