Identify Groups and Create Hubs

One of the things that really makes MemberHub a unique and powerful tool is its ability to manage multiple groups. Whether it's a church, a nonprofit or an association, all organizations naturally have multiple groups that carry out the business of membership. Now is the time to get a piece of paper and write down each group in your organization that could use their own private hub. So what are some examples of good hubs? Let's consider a church first and then we'll look at a nonprofit.

Churches, create a hub for:

• Each ministry (Outreach, Men's, Women's, Pastoral Care, Missions, Youth, Facility, Nursery)
• Each small group
• The staff
• Ongoing programs, like Crown Ministries or Alpha
• All members hub

Nonprofits, create a hub for:

• Board Members (yes, get them to use it for all communications!)
• Each Committee (Finance, Fundraising, Personnel, PR, etc.)
• Partners
• All members hub

When you're ready to create your hubs, visit the admin console for your organization and click on the Hubs tab. On the right-hand side you'll see a New Hub button. Click that, give the hub a name and decide if you'd like to be a hub administrator or member of that hub yourself. Note, that you will only receive correspondence from hubs with which you have direct affiliation as a member or admin.

Next, we'll explore how to set up your hubs.
