Social Networking for iMIS
 Social Networking for iMIS is online community software that puts the latest
online networking and communication tools directly into the hands of your
members. Members profit from a vibrant community where they can share
information, job hunt, gain recognition for their expertise, form valuable
relationships, and tap into the collective wisdom of others in their field.
- Increase membership – users expect an online experience similar to the
social networking sites they've been using…so recruit the next generation with a
professional networking tool that reaches out online to new connections and
provides a glimpse into the collective power of your organization.
-
Encourage knowledge sharing – your staff, board, members, and donors can
share information 24/7 via groups, forums, wikis, and libraries, while managing
their level of privacy. Constituents can collaborate, learn best practices,
influence others, gain recognition for their expertise, and advance their
careers.
- Extend value & reach of conferences – start the networking online before
your conferences, meetings, or classes and keep the discussion going long after
they end. Your constituents will market your annual conference for you and boost
registration, while you gain insight into their needs and interests by listening
to what they do in your online community.
- Promote member insight & feedback – instead of analyzing membership and
participation statistics, you can learn the interests and concerns of all
members through comments and conversation on the community site. Social
Networking for iMIS gives your constituents easy-to-use tools to share feedback
and ideas with your staff and committees.
