For Member-Based Organisations

A Dependable Secretariat for Your Organisation

Membership administration, governance support, meetings and communications for unions, associations, clubs and cooperatives.

Governance. Administration. Member service.

Keep your members informed and your administration organised.

Unions, associations, clubs and cooperatives have ongoing responsibilities to their members and leadership. Membership records, subscriptions, meetings, communications and decisions all require consistent administration.

Debunked Consultants can provide a coordinated secretariat function, with the scope, reporting arrangements and approval responsibilities agreed with your executive or governing body.
