A word about third-party platform integration
While clubs have the autonomy to select digital tools of their choice it is crucial to note that untrusted and unsupported third-party platforms such as MemberDay, ClubRunner, etc. will not be integrated with the Kiwanis membership database. This decision is grounded in our commitment to cybersecurity, privacy, and maintaining business continuity, especially when dealing with untrusted and unsupported third-party technology platforms. It is imperative to consider the potential risks associated with third-party platforms, notably their potential lack of security controls, privacy controls, unpredictable pricing structures and uncertain longevity in the marketplace. This contrasts starkly with our member-driven and supported tools, which are reliably integrated with organizational data and provided at no additional cost, ensuring both stability, security, privacy and financial predictability long-term.
Furthermore, we are excited to announce the upcoming launch of Kiwanis Engage later this year. This innovative platform, along with the complimentary club WordPress platforms, is set to offer more features and value compared to existing third-party tools like MemberDay or ClubRunner, and this will be available to clubs at no additional cost. Significantly, Kiwanis Engage will be securely connected to the Kiwanis membership database, eliminating the need for duplicate data entry and synchronization, a challenge currently faced with unsupported and untrusted third-party platforms.
We encourage you to stay tuned for further updates on Kiwanis Engage and take advantage of the enhanced functionality and convenience, comfort and stability that it will bring to our clubs long term.
