What is an Affiliation Member Information report?
This report allows to:
- Select and refine a list of constituents
- Produce lists for mailings, emails or phone calls
- Review members and submit any needed updates in ABE CRM
If you choose to use this list to communicate to a group of constituents, you must also submit the final list to ABE for tagging the records. This will display on the constituent records to show they received the communication. Please make sure to complete this step, as it helps us understand which communications a constituent received and how frequently we communicate with our constituents. This allows us to refine our marketing and communications strategy.
