History Records

History Codes enable the association to create the targeted one-to-one marketing campaign that is so vital to member retention.  

This powerful tool can be used to track participation in association committees and task forces; job descriptions, civic commitments, birthdays, etc.  If there is information you would like to maintain on individuals, history maintenance is the ideal location.  The number of records is unlimited so you can continue to update the history information as needed.
