Trade association management software

Each member company holds a record with its legal name, registration number, billing address, logo, and website.

Staff are invited by email onto a seat. Invitations expire after 30 days, and an admin can resend or revoke them at any time. Seat availability is checked both when the invitation is sent and when it's accepted, so a company can't invite past its limit.

An outstanding invitation counts against the seat total the same as an accepted one, so a company always sees its real headroom, not just who has logged in.

Seat allowance is set by the plan the company buys. A value of 0 means unlimited seats.

When the company's fee is paid, Orgo copies its valid-until date onto every member who has an account. Nobody on the team pays individually.

A contact holds a seat and appears in the member list without ever creating an account. Since a contact has no fee record, they don't inherit a validity date the way a full member does.

A person belongs to one company at a time. Roles at the company level are Primary Contact and Voting Representative, the contact who speaks for the company.

Create as many membership classes as your bylaws need. Each one carries its own price, term, and renewal behavior.

Classes can run on different terms:

• Annual, auto-renewing
• Multi-year, paid once with no auto-renewal
• Lifetime, paid in full

Companies in the industry, with full voting rights and eligibility for board seats.

Suppliers and service providers selling into the industry. Priced separately from regular members, with directory and event access. You can scope ballots to leave associate members out of votes on industry positions.

Academic, international, retired, honorary, whatever your bylaws call for. Each with its own price, term, and access.

Membership class determines price and access. Voting eligibility is set separately, per ballot, through a group or a private voter list, so you decide exactly who's eligible each time, whether that's every regular member or one specific committee.

Bank transfer is the default for most member companies. Payments are recorded manually against the company's invoice, with a payment identifier for reconciliation.

Stripe checkout is also available for companies who'd rather pay by card.

Dues scale with the seat count a company buys, from a single admin to the whole staff list.

There's no automatic calculation from company headcount. Size-banded dues work through separate membership classes, self-declared at signup, for example a small-company class priced below the standard rate.

Proration is measured from the company's join date, not the date it pays. A company that joins in January but settles its invoice in June still buys the January-to-June period, recalculated automatically.

An automatic reminder goes out 30 days before expiry, 7 days before, on the expiry date itself, then 1, 7, 14, and 30 days after. Each one is addressed to the financial contact and copies the active Primary Contacts plus two additional Cc addresses you set.

Turn on Fee Payment Mandatory and a company whose validity date has passed gets redirected to its own fee page until it pays.

Every eVoting ballot counts one vote per person. There's no company-level or weighted vote. If your bylaws call for one vote per company, the common way to model it is a single Voting Representative account per company, with the ballot scoped to that group.

You decide who's eligible for each vote through a group or a private voter list, whether that's every regular member, one membership class's Voting Representatives, or a single working group.

Member identity and vote are separated. Results are independently verifiable after the ballot closes.

Board elections, bylaw amendments, and policy resolutions all run inside Orgo. Nothing exports to a separate voting platform.

Set up a group for a standing committee or a short-lived working group. Both work the same way.

Each body gets its own discussion space and document sharing, visible only to its members.

A group can auto-populate from a role, for example every board member or every committee chair. Membership updates automatically as people gain or lose the role.

Committee seats are held by people from member companies, not the companies themselves, so a committee roster is a list of individuals with their company affiliation attached.

Members search the directory by company name, sector, and location.

Each listing carries the company's logo, website, and description, pulled straight from its company record.

For associate members selling into the industry, visibility in the directory in front of every regular member is often the single biggest reason to keep paying dues.

Members register and pay for the annual meeting or trade show online, with paid or free tickets.

Every ticket carries a QR code, scanned at the door. No separate check-in tool.

The event runs inside your own branded app: agenda, personal schedule, and networking, under your name, not Orgo's.

If your annual meeting includes a formal vote, it runs on the same eVoting system as any other ballot. Delegates don't switch tools between the trade show and the vote.

Attendance, revenue, and feedback are ready as soon as the event ends.

Target a campaign by membership class, sector, or committee, instead of blasting the entire list.

Time-sensitive updates reach members on their phone through the branded app.

Members talk to each other between events, inside the platform.

Member company count, and retention broken down by membership class.

See which companies are current and which have lapsed, without waiting on a report.

Ticket revenue and attendance from the annual meeting and any other events, in the same view.

Track which companies are active and which have gone quiet.
