Use Your Website to Keep Committees and Boards Streamlined
I’m sure you are well aware that getting people at the same place (physically or virtually), at the same time, offers many obstacles, with or without a pandemic. As guidelines change by the minute, it is more important than ever to keep your club leaders informed. Documents need to be changed quickly, communicating with groups of people has to be done seamlessly and calendars must be updated effortlessly. Security around all your data also has to ensure the information only gets into the correct member’s hands. A key factor in keeping organized, is maintaining all your data in a single source, your website.

But as members return, clubs have an increased responsibility under new protocols and restrictions. Areas of the club that were once open and free to use by members might now be limited to smaller capacities, requiring club staff to regulate members’ club usage. Below is a list of club areas that, although not traditionally required, might now benefit from reservations.
