Washington, D.C. - March 5, 2014 ‐ The National Club Association (NCA) is pleased to welcome MembersFirst as the newest Executive Partner in the NCA Corporate Partner Program. A celebrated digital agency and software provider for private clubs and other member-based organizations, MembersFirst has previously teamed up with NCA to present vital information at the 2013 National Club Conference, as well contributing insight for Club Director's "Diving into Technology" issue. By becoming an NCA Corporate Partner, MembersFirst affirms its position not only as a crucial resource for private clubs, but also as a firm dedicated to advancing the industry.

MembersFirst provides a unique, comprehensive product and services package to its clients, tailoring its approach to meet distinct club cultures. From the front end to the back, MembersFirst designs, creates and oversees cutting-edge websites, social networking platforms, marketing initiatives and reservation systems.

Like NCA, MembersFirst always looks to the private club industry's future, without losing sight of a club manager's specialized needs today, said NCA President & CEO Susanne R. Wegrzyn. I am confident that their expansive knowledge of technology issues at private clubs will allow them to make a real difference as an NCA partner, helping to educate club leaders about the tools they need to succeed in our fast-paced world.

We are excited to join forces with NCA as an Executive Partner, commented Kevin Kopanon, President and CEO of MembersFirst. As the advocate for clubs in the governmental arena, NCA works tirelessly to defend, protect and advance the interests and well-being of private, social and recreational clubs. At MembersFirst, we are equally passionate about our work helping clubs maximize the use and benefits of technology, while providing a best-in-class service experience.

As an Executive Partner, MembersFirst will benefit NCA club members through projects with NCA, including:

• Targeted editorial contributions in Club Director and NCA CONNECT
• Instructional educational webinars co-hosted with NCA
• Informative presentations at a variety of NCA regional and national educational conferences

Beyond serving as an NCA private club ally and industry resource, MembersFirst is also supporting the future of private clubs through a contribution to the National Club Association Foundation. Established in 1993, NCA Foundation funds research and education programs to provide insight into and analysis of the forces that are likely to shape the future club experience.
