Chicago, IL – Onsite Events, Inc., the premier full-service, Chicago-based meeting and event planning agency, has announced a new addition to its robust roster of services. Through a partnership agreement with membership software provider Wild Apricot, OnSite Events has launched Association Pilot, a comprehensive solution for small to mid-sized association management needs.

Combining Wild Apricot’s technology capabilities with OnSite Events’ extensive event planning and management expertise, Association Pilot delivers all of the services of a full-service association management company at a fraction of the cost. Based on each association’s specific needs, Association Pilot provides a customized suite of service options to fit every situation and every budget. In addition, associations retain full control over the easy-to-use system, allowing them to partake of Association Pilot’s powerful management tools without relinquishing oversight to a third party.

“Association Pilot is a needed tool-set that the association industry has been asking for,” says Keith Johnston, Group Vice President of OnSite Events. “Scalable and adaptable, it allows small- and mid-sized associations the opportunity to deliver best-of-breed services to their members while keeping spend in check. This allows executive management to spend their valuable time addressing the needs of their communities, rather than on the day-to-day operations that can take up most of their time.”

OnSite Events’ Association Pilot division concentrates on four main segments of association management:

• Meeting and event planning and management by a creative staff of OnSite Events professionals
• Membership management made easy with association-specific software and integrated websites
• Online marketing solutions including industry-specific buyer’s guides and member directories
• Member benefits solutions that maximize member satisfaction and non-dues revenue

Association Pilot brings together needed tools and technologies into a user-friendly package that is as easy to maintain as a word processing document. Online capabilities include an effortless, integrated web portal, event registration and web-based fundraising software, hands-off membership application and payment processes, tracking software to streamline and automate membership renewals and online fees, email marketing and management services, and social networking tools to build association-specific communities, among many other options.

In addition, associations that are looking for a solid member benefits package can turn to the experienced team of negotiators at OnSite Events to design and implement the perfect business solution for their memberships. Program partners deliver a full line of business, health, life, and other types of insurance products, along with a full line of targeted business services. Through Association Pilot, association member benefits are researched and negotiated on a case-by-case basis to secure the most competitive and effective options for each association’s unique needs.

At its core, Association Pilot has one thing to offer: association management on auto-pilot. Once a system is in place, it practically manages itself, allowing association executives and staff members to focus on the more high-touch responsibilities that solidify lifetime memberships.
