MEMBERSHIP

Associations struggle with growth, development and even maintaining membership. With the continuous development of new and more specialized associations and budgetary constraints membership has become a competitive market. Membership services include: member communication, member tracking, processing new members and membership renewals.

CONFERENCES/EVENTS

A conference would not be complete without attendees and with that comes registration. Registration can be done in advance as well as onsite. Many associations are using different techniques to improve the ease of onsite registration by sending registered attendees conference material in advance.

COMMUNICATION

Associations are responsible for communicating with members as well as the public. NPP provides services ranging from printed and electronic newsletters, membership directories, website announcements, and press releases for organizations. We also offer social media services.

TRADE SHOWS

Associations may offer trade shows or exhibitions in order to assist members in finding the right services or tools to perform job related duties. Trade shows and exhibitions can also be a great source of income for an association. NPP can assist organizations with expanding an existing trade show or developing a trade show with new and innovative approaches. In addition, NPP offers services to assist with the marketing and promotion of meetings and conferences. NPP will also assist individuals or groups with social events.

STRATEGY

The Board of Directors for most non-profit associations are volunteers that bring a great deal of expertise in an area to the board room. Strategic planning brings those talents together for the benefit of the organization and matches them to the goals of the group as a whole. NPP provides strategic planning services including facilitation, strategic plan development and outcomes management.

SITE SELECTION

NPP staff will access the needs of the group to find the perfect setting for every event. Site selection is more than just finding a nice city, hotel, and convention center it is also about finding the right fit for attendees. This requires research on the group, city, hotel, flights and much more. NPP has staff that will conduct the research for your group as well as assist in the negotiation of vendor contracts for your event.

TECHNOLOGY

NPP provides various technology services including website maintenance and consultation on technology options available and suited for associations. NPP is also very lucky to work with a local company, Logsdon Web Development (LWD), in providing clients excellent website development.

VENDOR MANAGEMENT

After selecting the perfect location for your event, NPP can assist with the management of hotel services such as Food & Beverage and meeting space. In addition, we can also assist with the management of other vendor services that complete the show. For instance, associations commonly work with destination management companies to provide tours, transportation and other venue related services. NPP can work directly with these companies to make sure the flow of activity is seamless.

FUNDING

Associations, like a business, must monitor finances in order to continue to provide adequate services to members. NPP will help associations find a financial management tool that works for the organization. We can also assist with the set up of the system as well as maintenance. NPP can also assist associations with reviewing current finances and offer revenue growth ideas.
