// problem

A volunteer-run chapter needed membership and community management that its own volunteers could operate, and that members would actually use on a phone between events rather than only at them. It was running on membership software built around dues and directories, which is a different job from keeping a community talking.

// solution

The chapter's community moved off Wild Apricot onto Circle, which keeps membership and conversation in one place and holds up on mobile, where most members actually are. The public site runs on WordPress with a custom theme, so chapter volunteers can keep it current themselves without going through a developer for routine changes.
