I'm the Education Chair for an 800 member recreational camera club in a retirement community. We offer a multitude of events, classes, and trips. Wild Apricot provides an interface that allows members to sign up for classes, pay for trips, and provides communication between instructors and participants.

It is so freeing to get rid of the several, inaccurate spreadsheets.

Wild Apricot has really made it so much easier to keep track of all the day-to-day details of museum membership. I like being able to run reports on any number of criteria.

I find it a flexible platform with which to work. I'm a novice a web design and use this for our club website. After being trained in it, I am comfortable going in to the Admin view and doing what I need to do. I also have a more experienced person in our club to help me. I've also found the help resources very useful.

The Wild Apricot program was easy to set up for our club, and WA continues to improve their offering. They keep track of improvement requests and are communicative about the size of the backlog. They have done some things we have requested - other things remain on backlog. All in all, good experience at a modest price.

Once we began using Wild Apricot, our database management changed forever! It is an effective and intuitive system, easy to use, and a real time saver. As a national professional organization, we can now communicate with our 700+ members more effectively, process memberships and event registrations, run reports and set up e-blasts in advance. We highly recommend this system!

the fact that everyone can work on the same membership database, group coordinators, membership officers, treasurer, makes life so much easier for everyone. And it has cut back on the workload of our volunteers. Creating the webpages takes some getting used to WA's functionality, just because some buttons are in a different place. Uploading an existing member database to get started was straightforward. Events cannot be imported, so it is a new start when the site goes live on WA. The training of event coordinators has been time consuming, just because there as sooo many options. The options make it super-flexible and allows for a lot of many scenarios, so everyone is still learning (we have used the system for 4 months only).

Wild Apricot has proven to be a reliable event management partner for our lecture series. One of the most impressive attributes is their online support. It is generally easy to get through on the phone and the technical support folks are patient and easy to work with. They have thus far answered all my questions and helped me find a workable solution.
