Chapter Management for Professional Associations
Coordinate every chapter, section, and branch.
National professional bodies use TidyConnect to manage dual-tier dues, track CPD completion across chapters, monitor charter compliance, and report to the board with live data — not last quarter's spreadsheets.
No setup required. No chapter migration. See your network live.
The multi-chapter coordination challenge.
Dual-tier dues create reconciliation nightmares
Members pay national dues plus chapter dues. Some chapters collect and remit. Others expect HQ to split the payment. The reconciliation takes days every quarter and the numbers never match.
CPD tracking is scattered across chapters
Members earn continuing professional development credits through chapter events. HQ needs a consolidated CPD record per member. Chapters report in different formats — or not at all.
Charter compliance lapses go unnoticed
Chapters are supposed to hold a minimum number of meetings, maintain a committee of a certain size, and submit annual reports. Some do. Some don't. You find out at re-chartering time — too late to fix it.
Volunteer leaders turn over and knowledge disappears
A chapter chair rotates out every two years. The new chair has no handover, no records, and no context. They spend their first six months figuring out what the chapter already had.
How TidyConnect works.
Three layers. Zero forced migration. Full visibility.
Your chapters use TidyHQ
Each chapter, branch, or affiliate manages their own memberships, events, finances, and communications. They keep their own bank account and payment gateway. They run independently.
TidyConnect links them
Your parent body connects all chapters through TidyConnect. No forced migration. Chapters on TidyHQ connect instantly. Others adopt at their own pace. The network grows as more chapters join.
