Having members play such an increased role in advocacy for your Association not only gives them a sense of empowerment; but also gives an added value to their membership. With our advocacy products, members are given the power to participate in a variety of ways. Members can: Take Action on certain issues that are important to them, sign online petitions , make donations, and enlist fellow friends and family to join the association and become part of the cause. Advocacy products that can assist your Association with its mission include: Take Action!
Take Action is an online service that will enhance your Association’s web site by allowing to reach out to specific decision-makers (including CEOs and Congressional Representatives) and Take Action right from your website. Using Take Action online is quicker and easier than writing a letter with pen and paper, but just as effective. The Take Action service allows users to send a pre-written letter or create their own customized letter to send to their decision makers, right from your website. Take Action can be fully customized for your Association and is fully integrated.
Take Action! Legislative Data
The Legislative Data option provides your Association with data on Federal and State legislators which can be integrated with your Take Action campaigns. This option allows members to communicate directly with their Federal and State legislators. This is an essential capability if your organization wants to communicate with legislators. To use this feature, simply select "Legislators" in your administrative set-up, and then when a member provides his or her zip code for a Take Action letter, the letter will automatically be addressed to the appropriate legislator(s) responsible for that geographic area.
