According to Courtney Smith, current President of the organization, the Ad Club of Silicon Valley is a volunteer association dedicated to professional development and the furthering of the advertising industry. Smith said, "We were looking for a way to improve our efficiency. We wanted better tracking for the variety of events we put on, as well as improved accountability and better communication with our membership. Not only did we find it all in 123Signup's online Association Manager service, but we found a way to help increase our event attendance and manage most of our association needs."

"As a volunteer organization, we were dropping the ball, so to speak. Now, with 123Signup, we have the proper management tools for follow up with those interested in membership, and we can now give our members the opportunity to register for our events at every turn. Before 123Signup, we were missing these opportunities."

"As in most professional associations, we rotate new people into our officer and board positions. Now we look at 123Signup as our continuity thread, our platform for consistency, our virtual Executive Director. It's saving us volunteer time, and it will keep us from continually having to reinvent the wheel. It's a powerful tool, with more reports than I think we'll ever need. For any association looking to better manage their events, their member communications and to help grow their membership, it's as easy as 123Signup."

"123Signup rocks!" says Bryan Kramer, past President and now in charge of integration of online technology for the Ad Club of Silicon Valley. "Within 48 hours, we were already taking online registrations for our next event. With the ink still drying on our contract, 123Signup had integrated our entire database. And within two weeks, they had all of our people trained and ready to roll for the next year."

"Once 123Signup sets you up with their Association Manager service, you have full control. It's allowed all of our board members to have a central source of access for the information they need to develop their committee reports and to post committee information for our membership. And the nice thing is they don't have to know a thing about HTML or programming. 123Signup keeps us current and continuously in front of our members. It makes it a snap anyone to register for our events and for us to collect our event fees and new member fees securely and immediately.

Like I say, 123Signup rocks!"
