We’ve had several people tell us recently that they haven’t found a system that approaches group software quite like MemberHub. Everytime I hear this it makes me smile. Of course it’s uplifting to learn that someone finds our product unique, but what’s more encouraging is that it continues to validate our approach towards our “group software”. So what’s the difference? Read more…
Group Management Software vs. Groups Software – What’s the Difference?
Main Calendar – New Feature
We have made an enhancement to the combined calendar feature in MemberHub. When you’re logged into MemberHub there is a Calendar link at the top. This Calendar has always served as just a read-only view of events from all the hub calendars that you’re a member of. For example, if you are in the Facility Team Hub and Worship Team Hub at your church, you’ll see events from both of those group calendars. You can adjust which color the events show up in, but this “combined calendar” has been read-only; until now. Read more…

The Book Bag Monster: The School Communication Nemesis
“Oops! I forgot to give you that…” The infamous words from your child’s mouth that describe the devilish disappearing act in which the school book bag performs weekly.

Family Engagement…Or Else!
Last year in the state of North Carolina 580 students dropped out of high school due to a lack of engagement between school and household. We’ve always known that it is important to a child’s education for their parents to be involved, but now with the recent passing of the Family Engagement in Education Act, parents are required by federal law to care about their child’s education.

Feeling Over-committed? Spread the Load!
Between careers, kids, spouses, church, soccer games, and oh yeah, that thing they call leisure, who doesn’t feel like their life is over-committed? As adults we get so caught up in getting ahead, we forget that slowing down to enjoy the view is what gives life its richness.

Motivating Volunteers: Actions Speak Louder than Words
“I can teach you skills, but I can’t teach you desire.” It’s the tried and true call to action, which every coach pulls out of their bag of tricks. It’s often a last attempt to inspire their team, to show them that hustle and inspiration make a victory.
Motivation is a tricky animal to conquer; it can be spawned internally or externally, but the best type of motivation springs from a combination of the two. So how do we combine a competitive internal drive with the external desire to achieve a common goal? How do we get every member of our team to be personally invested in the success of the whole organization? This is most relevant to the challenges of recruiting volunteers.
