Engaging members in change
BSAC IS CONSTANTLY SEEKING TO improve and deliver a better service to members , clubs and centres . As such , as part of the 2023 strategic work , the organisation is looking to thoroughly review its systems and processes supported by a new Association Management System ( AMS ).
An AMS is an all-in-one software tool . It brings together an organisation ’ s website , contact database , communications system ( email and SMS ), app , finance and payment system , event platform , eLearning and more .
BSAC will be engaging groups of members to hear their views and be part of a joint and collaborative process that will ensure that the best decisions are made for the club ’ s future technology and processes .
The first area of focus for this project – the ‘ new member process ’ – is already underway . There will be further areas of focus in due course , including training events , membership renewals and the club management system , and members will be engaged throughout .
BSAC Council Project Lead Janos Suto said : “ This is an exciting project that will deliver a better service to everyone in our community in some way ; from enhancing the new member experience to making it easier for clubs and centres to operate and be successful . Member engagement and feedback is critical to the success of this piece of work and I ’ m very grateful to all those people who ’ ve engaged so far through surveys and workshops . It ’ s been hugely useful and I ’ m looking forward to continued engagement .”
This wide-ranging project will take time to deliver , but its expected enhancements will start to be implemented from 2024 . If you are interested in being part of a focus group linked with this project , please contact Wendy Meadows at wendym @ bsac . com
