NYSAFC to Introduce New Membership Database

By Jerry DeLuca
NYSAFC Executive Director

For more than a year, NYSAFC has been working to implement new technology that will benefit members and enhance their communication with association staff, officers, and representatives. In November 2016, the association launched a new and improved website to provide easier access to information about programs, events, and news impacting fire chiefs and the fire service of New York state.

Working with Timberlake AMS Solutions, we will introduce phase two of this project, a modern database and association management system, on August 1, 2017. The association has undertaken these changes to provide greater value to your membership.

Among the many changes that you will notice is your ability to:

Log in to our member portal via our website so you can access your membership record and easily update your information.
Register and pay for some training and events online (not the 112th Annual Conference & FIRE 2018 Expo).
Receive electronic invoices and pay your annual dues electronically.
Receive email information regarding training and events.
Receive legislative and government affairs updates.
View members-only information.
Receive confirmation emails each time you complete an action or payment.
Access your receipts for all transactions.
Access your invoices online electronically.

While NYSAFC is moving to more electronic communications, those who wish to receive their dues and other invoices by mail will still be able to do so.

Our hope is that this new system will allow NYSAFC to provide you more information in a timely manner and also reduce association mailing and printing costs in the long run. We are sure there will be some glitches and it will take time to adjust, but in the end, our membership will be better served.

If you have questions about this new system or your membership, please email Membership Coordinator Brian Forte.
