Helpful Software

Browsers work differently and sometimes what works well in one doesn’t work as well in

another. You can load two browsers on your computer so when you have problems with a

site, you can try using a different browser. Download the free software from the software

company’s site or go to associationresources.com/links for quick access to either

Microsoft and Netscape.

 

If you don’t have the latest version of these browsers, now is a good time to upgrade. Old browsers aren’t compatible with some of the newest Web features.

 

Another useful free software package is Adobe’s Acrobat Reader, which allows you to open and print PDF files. Access this software at associationresources.com/link or at adobe.com.

 

Remember, once you’ve downloaded the program, you will need to install it. Installation is as easy as double clicking so don’t be shy.

AR Benefits!
Association culture has changed dramatically in the past 20 years. Professional associations are composed of volunteers, who are busy with their own careers, families and businesses. It therefore often makes sense to outsource management duties to professional managers, relieving volunteers of administrative and operational tasks so they can focus more effectively on their association's goals and strategies.

Association Resources offers associations the convenience of experienced staff and a wide range of services, without the need to deal with personnel issues and expending funds on capital purchases. They gain shared buying power for supplies, stationery, hotels, conference services, and design/web/printing services.

Leveraging AR's experience and state-of-the-art equipment, clients find they can lower their overhead costs and simultaneously achieve a stronger, more vital membership base.
