    Hi guys!

    To manage your association and the information of all your members, I would recommend RowShare. It’s a very simple tool that allows you to create easily a table for collecting information (& various files), a competition schedule or a group order. You can share it, and work on it in the same time that your members.

    To be honest, I feel I need to let you know that I work as intern for the company that develops RowShare, but I think it’s a good way to make administration of an association or club. The platform allows members to add their information. A time saver for everyone!

    If you want more details about it, I just wrote an article: https://www.rowshare.com/blog/en/2016/05/27/Club-association-collecting-information-about-your-members

    Try it! It’s free 🙂
    Have a nice day!
