Nonprofits far and wide are doing wonderful work in the world to promote the integrity and strength in their respective field. As an entrepreneur works on a business rather than in their business, an association’s members and Board of Directors work tirelessly to promote their cause. There are many facets to this, including membership, sponsorship, fundraising, and event planning, just to name a few. An experienced administrative team is key to keeping all the pieces moving. Some example of what EBS can provide are:

Event Planning:
From venue selection to catering to promotion, there is a lot of “behind the scenes” work involved in coordinating a successful event. We have the knowledge and expertise to negotiate the best price for your venue and putting the contract in place, as well as sourcing a menu that is suitable for your guests to include special dietary needs. We promote your event via direct mailings, social media, and getting the word out through other free or low-cost means. Additionally, we prepare badges, attendance lists, handouts, slides, and arrange for audiovisual equipment. We keep the organizations leaders in the loop and work closely with the event planning committee for a successful event that showcases your organization’s mission to those in your community and beyond.

Membership Records and Drives:
Working with a membership association software of the client’s choice, we upkeep the membership records, send out notices for dues, coordinate mailings to the organization’s audience, and assist members in keeping their contact information up to date. EBS can also help transition to a new association management software package or help you choose one if you are in need of this service. Also, we work with your organization to promote yearly membership drives.

Sourcing Sponsorships:
Together with the Board of Directors and Sponsorship Committee, EBS assists in researching possible sponsors that are a good fit with the organization. Sponsorships bring extra income to the association via yearly commitments, advertising, sponsoring of an event, and other creative methods. Sponsorship is an important part of budgeting and providing income, and we work to cultivate and maintain these relationships.

Bookkeeping:
It’s a task that not a lot of people want have on their plate – but EBS can provide bookkeeping services as needed by any organization. This critical task is essential in the day-to-day operations of an association to keep income flowing and expenses in check. We will work with your association to provide the best accounting system for your needs.

Board Meeting Preparation:
In our world of countless meetings, it’s imperative to be prepared when you appear in front of your colleagues. We assist with creating reports for finances, membership, sponsorship, events, and more. It’s an administrative task that is essential for the cohesiveness of your group.

Website Design/Management:
Your online presence needs to be on point in showcasing your association to the world. We can work with your MARCOMM team on an existing platform to make updates and changes, assist you finding sources to create a new website, and provide ideas with a fresh set of eyes. Also, we routinely audit your website for broken links, scrubbing outdated information, and more.

Social Media:
It’s everywhere around us, and it’s more important than ever to provide factual and timely information that reaches your intended audience in a manner of integrity. Promoting events, member features, posting current news and items of interest to your audience are all tasks we can assist with. We can also assist with SEO management and advertising to drive more traffic to your posts and ultimately your website.

Miscellaneous Tasks as Needed:
There are always projects to work on in any organization, and we provide that back-end admin support. Whether it’s research, creating PowerPoints, sending surveys to members, taking minutes of meetings, or simply meeting with your board to brainstorm new ideas, EBS is here to support you.
