Members pay dues all year. Give them a reason to show up all year.
Chapters, committees and the annual meeting in one Room, with members answering each other between events.
The usual gap
The annual meeting is full of energy. Then members go quiet until renewal time, and the chapter lists drift apart.
Why many associations wait
Enterprise member platforms are quote-only and slow to launch. One review of forum tools puts a common incumbent's setup at two to four months (Bettermode, Aug 2026, a competing vendor). A Dium Flow can be open the same day.
A structure that mirrors yours
A Flow is one community space. A Room groups sibling Flows. Members and direct messages carry across them, while each Flow keeps its own Waves and moderators.
National Flow
Announcements from the board, member-wide Q&A and the calendar of sessions.
Chapter Flows
One per city or region, run by chapter leads with moderator rights.
Committee Flows
Private working spaces for volunteers and the board.
Annual meeting
Session Q&A, speaker AMAs and a Page for each sponsor.
Workflows members notice
Ask the profession
A member posts a practice question. Peers reply, the asker marks the best answer, and it joins the searchable library for every chapter.
Monthly webinars
Recurring sessions with RSVP seats, a Zoom or Meet link, polls and questions collected ahead of time.
Job and volunteer calls
Opportunity Waves where members apply and you route each application to a chapter lead or committee chair.
Roles by membership tier
Profile types such as Member, Student member, Fellow and Sponsor, each with its own rights.
Sponsor and partner Pages
A branded Page with a wall, a discussion thread and a contact button. Owners see visits and clicks.
Member data: the plain facts
- Your member list
- Dium does not connect to association management systems out of the box. If you run a member site, the partner API can sign members in with one-time tokens and add them to the right Flow.
- Visibility
- Each Flow is public or private. Joining can be open, approved, invite-only or by code.
- Profiles
- Name and photo come from the member's sign-in profile. Members can add a headline and areas of expertise.
- Payments
- Dium does not collect dues. Your plan is billed monthly through our payment provider, Werify Paywall.
Start with one chapter. Add the rest when it works.
