YourMembership

What YourMembership Is

YourMembership is an association management system (AMS) for small to mid-sized associations, nonprofits and association management companies, with learning management built into the same suite. The homepage pitches it as a way to "work more efficiently with an all-in-one AMS" and to "easily manage membership activities, boost member engagement, and increase non-dues revenue." The footer says YourMembership is part of Momentive Software, which it describes as a provider of cloud-based software to associations, nonprofits and K-12 schools, and gives the address as St. Petersburg, Florida.

The company leans on its track record. The homepage claims 25+ years of experience meeting the needs of member-based organizations, says over 14K association professionals have increased productivity and profitability with YourMembership, and states that 25 million members interact with it through their associations and nonprofits. It also claims that "1 in 4 professionals of associations rely on us." Those are the company's own figures.

Learning Management Inside the AMS

Learning is one of the modules the homepage lists. Its description is short: deliver content and support career growth "through live and on-demand content." The product menu lists it as YourMembership Learning, the solutions menu as Learning Management Software, and the footer as a Learning Management System, so it is sold as part of the suite rather than as a standalone course tool. The company also runs an on-demand webinar called "Grow Member Loyalty and Revenue with Smarter CE Delivery," which shows continuing education is the use case it has in mind.

The company's blog sets out what it thinks a connected AMS and LMS should deliver for small-staff associations. For members, it lists single sign-on across the membership profile and the learning portal, certifications, CE credits and course completions flowing into the member record, recommendations drawn from profile and learning data, and consistent branding. For staff, it lists accurate data without double entry, less time spent on rosters, course access and manual credit issuing, and reporting that shows how education drives engagement, renewals and non-dues revenue. On revenue, the post says "Courses, certifications, and learning bundles can become year-round revenue generators," with member versus non-member pricing and promotional offers. The post is written as buying advice, so an association should confirm in a demo which of these items the YourMembership learning module handles itself.

The Rest of the Suite

The homepage's case for the suite is simple. "Tired of juggling multiple systems?" it asks, and promises to save staff time and boost member engagement and revenue on one system. The other modules give the learning side its context:

• Member management, which the homepage calls the core of "great member engagement and simplified operations" for small to mid-sized organizations.
• Event management, to create, host and manage an association's events, with a separate Mobile Event App in the product menu.
• Online community, pitched as a way to make the association "part of your members' daily habits."
• Job board, so the association can become "the go-to resource for career advancement in your industry without additional staff time or resources."
• Website design, for a modern, user-friendly site "that looks great on every device."

The menu also lists data analytics, and the blog notes that YourMembership includes survey functionality, "making it simple to target and collect member feedback," which the post recommends using to decide which courses and certifications to build next. On data protection, the homepage mentions "our dedicated data team and top-notch security measures." Services include design services, AMS implementation, and add-ons and services, and there is a partner program for association management companies through Momentive Software.

Why the Company Pushes Learning

The blog explains why YourMembership treats education as a membership benefit rather than a side project. It cites the Benchmark Report: Small Staff Associations, which found that 51% of members prioritize certifications or credentials as the most important benefit and that half of the members surveyed named ongoing training as one of the most important membership benefits, while only 37% of small staff associations prioritize certifications, credentials and ongoing training. The post adds that two-thirds of members in a separate association trends study said they are required to take professional education to comply with industry standards, and that members rated their professional organization's training as "average."

From that research it draws a list of formats members want: webcasts of live events, on-demand learning, mobile learning, just-in-time resources, short videos, recommended courses and social learning. Its advice to small-staff associations is to start an AMS and LMS connection with single sign-on, credit tracking and e-commerce before moving to personalization, to clean member data first, and to measure course enrollment, member satisfaction and revenue growth afterward. For an association weighing YourMembership, this is a fair picture of how the company expects its learning offer to be used: as a renewal and revenue driver tied closely to the member record.

Pricing, Demos and Customers

The site publishes no prices. It offers a free demo, a "Let's Chat" contact route, and two on-demand demos for people "not ready to talk to sales": one shows how the all-in-one AMS helps small staff associations "save time, boost member engagement, and keep data secure," and the other walks through building the member website. Resources include whitepapers such as an "Ultimate Tech Stack Guide," toolkits, infographics and case studies, among them one on how MCTA is "saving time and money with YM AMS." The company also lists the association tradeshows where it exhibits.

The featured testimonial comes from Renee Stager, Senior Managing Director of the Independent Insurance Agents of Houston: "I have a complicated dues system so [YM] makes it so much simpler. There's not just one thing I couldn't live without. The database is my lifeline."

Who It Suits

YourMembership fits small-staff associations, nonprofits and association management companies that want membership, events, community, a career center and learning under one vendor, and that see continuing education as part of the membership offer rather than a separate business. The appeal is consolidation: fewer systems, one member record, and a learning catalog that sits next to dues and renewals.

An organization whose main need is a full-featured course platform, with deep authoring, assessment or certification tooling, should use the demo to test the learning module in detail, because the homepage describes it in a single line. For a small association already looking for a new AMS, it is a practical way to add member education without adding another system.
