Use WildApricot
Using WildApricot effectively includes encouraging your members to self-service in your WildApricot-powered website, and training your administrators and volunteers. The philosophy WildApricot encourages members to do self-service through the website. Whatever they do on the website will ALWAYS be reflected in WildApricot instantly, because the website and the database are intricately connected for 24/7/365 up to date. The database becomes your single source of truth.
The administrative features in the admin dashboard can be delegated to volunteers and other staff so they can help run the organization, and we encourage smaller associations to start giving access to others to help you focus on building value to your members. But if you need help NewPath offers care plans and our famous Wild Apricot Hero, on demand video support program.
