[Frewsburg, NY: 10/31/2024] – Carroll Rod and Gun Club is excited to announce the launch of online membership applications and dues renewals, marking the next step in their partnership with Connect Outdoors, a Jamestown-based member management software company.
Since May, both organizations have collaborated to transition membership management from spreadsheets to a secure database powered by Salesforce. This innovative change aims to improve security and streamline operations for better member engagement.
Highlights of the Partnership:
Digital Newsletter Launch: Following a successful pilot with 200 members, the digital newsletter will roll out to over 1,000 members in January 2025, reducing printing costs and improving engagement.
Online Membership Applications: Prospective members can now apply online before attending a membership meeting where they will pay their membership dues and be voted in by the full membership.
Dues Payment: Starting November 1, current members can pay their dues online at ConnectOutdoors.info/carrollrodandgun.
“We have seen great engagement so far,” said Tenneil Stelmack, Secretary of the Carroll Rod and Gun and a key driver behind this partnership. “With the transition to digital, we can better serve our members while saving on costs.” Tenneil’s dedication has been instrumental in analyzing existing processes and ensuring that the club’s needs are prioritized throughout this transition.
Nathen Conrad-Peterson, Founder of Connect Outdoors, emphasizes the broader vision: “While we’re starting with Carroll Rod and Gun, our goal is to develop tools that can benefit sportsman organizations everywhere. We want to hear from other organizations interested in modernizing their membership processes, as your input is invaluable in building the right solutions.”
Membership Renewal Information:
Membership renewals open November 1st, with annual dues set at $35, payable until December 31st. Current members are reminded that lapses in membership require reapplication and a vote at a future meeting. Members can renew in person or online at ConnectOutdoors.info/CarrollRodandGunClub.
Members are also reminded that nominations for officers are held at the November and December Membership Meetings, which take place on the second Tuesday of each month at 7pm. A vote of the full membership will occur in December. Nominations are open to all members in good standing who have attended half of all scheduled meetings and special meetings.
