Group and Committee Management
 

Within any organization of more then a few people, there is a requirement to manage these groups. For the MA Associations Manager software there are two types of groups, one simply called Groups, and one for Committees. The difference is that groups are just that -- a collection of individuals which can be used to segment reporting, e-mail broadcasting, letter generation or for quick access through our group management screen. Groups can be used to code for demographic information, or just to index individuals.

Above is an example of our basic Group Management screen. You can add or remove members form this screen, as you can individually from the member's own screen. You can e-mail broadcast to a group, run our letter generator against this group or print labels as well. It is a central place where you can manage groups by selecting which ones to work on by checking the associated check box. Groups can have a few members or thousands, it's up to you. You can expire members from a group as there is a start and end date associated with them, and you can view current members, expired members or all group records, regardless of expiration.

Committees, on the other hand, have more elements associated with them, such as specific meeting times, the ability to generate agendas and have those forwarded to the members of the committee. Costs can be associated with meetings and reports produced to indicate how much committees cost the association. Committee membership can also be used to segment members for reporting and other purposes, but has a more specific purpose – driving committee meetings.
