So, you are in the market for a new Association Management System (AMS) and want to find the best fit for your organization, right? On top of that, you want to ensure you get your money’s worth. And, you need to choose a system your team can easily learn and integrate with other tools and systems as well.

No small feat. High expectations. Lots of pressure.

So, how do you pull this off? Awkward questions. You heard us right.

The salesperson will wow you with all the system’s bells and whistles, but asking key awkward questions will help you determine if you are investing in the right system to meet your association’s needs.

Join us Tuesday, June 18, at 12 noon Eastern, as Ellipsis Partners’ Moira Edwards and Jim Pearson help us understand how asking the right awkward questions can set you and your association up for success!
