[OMS_MANAGERS] Membership Database, Volunteer Recruitment, and Volunteer Management

[Peggy Moretti]

The HPLO is using DonorPerfect for its database and likes it pretty well.
They have an online version that can be accessed anywhere there's an
internet connection and no software to maintain.  We were able to get it
even less expensively through TechSoup, which provides deeply discounted
software to registered non-profits.

Hello Main Street Managers,

 

I am in need of your help/suggestions! The City of St. Helens just started
its Main Street Program. Since we are in the Exploring level, we are
developing the systems needed to run an efficient organization in the
future. As such, I am looking for pointers on the following:

1.       Membership Database Management (The organization will most likely
become membership-driven. I would like to know then what are some of your
best practices and if you use an online program such as Wild Apricot to
manage your members' information, events, dues, etc.)

2.       Volunteer Recruitment Strategies (Like above, what are some of your
organization's best practices? What are some of the volunteer positions you
created prior to going on a recruitment campaign? How have you engaged
new/potential volunteers? What was your timeline from the planning stage up
until the end of the recruitment campaign?)

3.       Volunteer Management (Like above, what are some of your
organization's best practices? Do you use an online program to manage your
volunteers? Did you create an orientation program prior to your projects?)

Thanks in advance for your help. Go Main Street!

 

Best,

Mark Aguirre, Main Street Program Coordinator
