Build e-List Communities

Connecting e-newsletter readers are the first to know! Although we haven't officially launched this new service, we wanted you to hear about it first...

CommPartners is partnering with iCohere to offer Springboard, a new tool for associations looking to leap from simple email discussion lists to feature-rich online communities.

Springboard is ideal for organizations transitioning beyond the capabilities of legacy, email-based discussion list programs...but not ready to make the investment of funds or staff time needed to sponsor a comprehensive community solution. 

This low-cost introduction to building e-communities provides interactive, graphic-driven discussions, enhanced networking profiles, group/sub-group announcements and file attachments-all in a secure environment. 

Springboard also offers seamless upgrade options, for more advanced community solutions as your communities grow.
