Solutions / Associations

For trade & professional associations.

Built for industry bodies, certification organizations, and professional associations. Member tiers by firm size, revenue band, or certification level. CEU tracking on the Phase 2 roadmap.

Who this is for

Built for the four shapes of association.

Membership has different mechanics depending on what your association does. Sembr handles all four out of the box.

Trade associations

Industry-spanning member bodies with firm-size tiers, sector segmentation, and government-affairs interests.

Certifying bodies

Credential-issuing organizations. CEU tracking, expiry alerts, and certificate issuance ship in Phase 2.

Regulators

Self-regulating professional bodies. Public registry, complaint workflow seam, and member-status disclosure.

Professional bodies

Discipline-specific member groups (architects, accountants, planners). Practice-area directories and CPD tracking.

Chapter operations

Run the parent and the chapters from one platform.

Each regional chapter runs as its own tenant with its own dues, events, and Stripe payout. The parent association rolls up reporting and surfaces a single unified member directory at the umbrella level.

Useful when you have 20 to 200 chapters and want consistent operations without forcing every chapter onto the same fiscal year, dues schedule, or board structure.

  • Per-chapter Stripe Connect (each chapter gets paid directly).
  • Parent rollup dashboards (combined member counts, dues YTD, event attendance).
  • Cross-chapter member transfers when someone moves regions.
  • Optional per-chapter custom domain or subdomain.

Designed for associations 200 to 5,000+ members.

FAQ

Common questions from association directors.

Can we tier by firm size and revenue band at the same time?
Yes. Tiers can combine criteria. A typical setup: small firm (under 25 staff) at one rate, mid firm (25-100) at another, enterprise firm (100+) at a third, with optional add-ons for additional voting reps or extra CEU seats.
What about chapter operations?
Each regional chapter can run as its own tenant with its own dues, events, and Stripe payout, while the parent association rolls up reporting and a single member directory at the umbrella level.
Do you support voting / governance workflows?
Voting eligibility flags ship at launch. Full board-election workflows (slate, ranked-choice, anonymous ballots) are Phase 2.
When does CEU / certification tracking ship?
Phase 2. Continuing education credits, expiration tracking, and certificate generation are scoped for the first half of the year following launch.
