Membership Associations
The value of belonging to an Association is often the ability to learn and share through connection with other members and people working in their areas of interest. Yet most Associations are challenged to provide greater membership value and understandably have limited capacity to deliver connectivity, apart from through occasional and conventional means, such as conferences and meet ups.
In the meantime, many member websites will typically be isolated, static and underperforming, and the online connections between members will randomly rely on sparse personal contact and maybe little else.

Usage examples:
Shared knowledge, experiences and ideas
Sector professionals post blogs, articles and news pages into their own websites and elect to broadcast. Members can receive this content as an display link into their websites if it’s relevant to their interests, while the Association website may elect to aggregate all this content.
Bringing together the content created within the community
The Association website sets up display pages for say blog posts, events and articles. It then automatically receives content listings from websites within the membership community. The community website therefore acts as a hub and provides authoritative aggregation of community posted content.
Save time, effort and inaccuracies
Complex technical content is created centrally by the Association and placed in its website, e.g. a page titled ‘Rules Of The Association’. An intro/listing for this content can be instantly accessed through any number of regional and member websites in the knowledge it’s accurate and current, while any localised customisations can simply be added to by each receiving website.
*Examples can only operate as described if websites are operating within Flightdec Communities.
