Associations

Associations play a vital role in connecting members, advancing industries, and supporting professional growth. Whether you represent a trade group, a professional society, or a member-driven nonprofit, your mission depends on technology that supports engagement, insight, and long-term sustainability.

Fíonta partners with associations of all types to design, implement, and support Salesforce solutions that strengthen relationships, streamline operations, and create lasting value. Our team brings broad experience across the association landscape, along with deep expertise in legal and medical sectors.

Deep Expertise With Legal and Medical Associations

Fíonta has long-standing partnerships with legal and medical associations that require sophisticated credentialing, regulatory alignment, and complex governance. We understand the nuances of these sectors and bring tested solutions to each engagement.

Let's talk

Association Needs

Support for the Full Member Journey

From onboarding to renewal, members expect a seamless and personalized experience. We help associations manage the full membership lifecycle, including engagement tracking, segmentation, and retention strategies—all in a single, connected system.

Continuing Education and Credential Management

Whether it’s CLE, CME, or custom credentials, your members rely on education to advance their careers. We support continuing education workflows, credit tracking, and integrations with learning platforms to ensure a cohesive experience for learners and staff alike.

Credentialing portals don’t have to be painful

Committees, Chapters, and Volunteer Engagement

Volunteer leadership is the backbone of many associations. We help manage committee structures, nominations, and participation tracking, making it easier to support active member involvement and leadership development.

Events That Connect and Inform

Conferences, webinars, and regional events play a key role in member value. We help track registrations, manage speakers and schedules, and connect event data to member profiles for a more complete view of engagement.

Communications That Build Relationships

Members expect relevant, timely communication. We help associations deliver personalized messaging across email, campaigns, and engagement journeys using Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Account Engagement (Pardot).

Data That Supports Strategic Decisions

With the right data in hand, associations can better understand what members value and where to invest. We help you design dashboards and reports that support board reporting, operational planning, and member experience strategies.

Securing member data and access online

The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) is respected for its dedication to industrial hygiene and occupational and environmental health and safety communities. This membership-based organization founded in the New Deal era has stayed relevant to its growing membership by providing robust benefits, many of which are now accessible through its digital properties. These include a WordPress website fully integrated with Fonteva, an Association Management Solution (AMS) built on Salesforce. Under our guidance, the website was migrated to a new hosting solution, Pantheon, without disrupting member services or access. Visit website
