The
Droz Group has been a national leader in the development of Internet
related services and activities for its organizational clients.
Ultimately,
the predominant method of communication between organizations and their
constituents will be through digital activities and the Internet.
Associations
will be required to implement sophisticated, yet cost-effective, methods
of providing and managing information for its constituents.
The
Droz Group can provide the following services;
- Website and
HomePage Development

Development and Management of Information Resources for Association

To
become and remain a premier organization, the association of the future
must increase its digital presence on the World Wide Web. There are
tremendous demographic changes taking place in membership organizations.
Members who will join in 1999 are different people than those who joined
in 1990. Consequently, membership organizations will be required to
respond and communicate in a manner preferred by its emerging membership.
The
new membership does not have the desire nor the time to spend searching
for information. They prefer easy and quick access to information, education
and communication. The Internet and the other electronic services that
The Droz Group provides and will continue to upgrade with technological advances
will allow your association to remain flexible and respond to the rapid
changes in the environment and membership needs.
There
are several benefits to developing and maintaining a presence on the
information highway:
- Clearly,
one benefit is that it provides members with immediate access to
relevant information.
- The association
can also use the digital media to communicate with other constituents
who need information. This ability positions association as the
purveyor of valuable information and therefore the place to
go when someone needs information.
- The marketing
and public relations advantages in this are self-evident.
- Home page
services provide members with instant information on meetings and
conferences, on-line registration capability, association resources
and publications.
- Finally,
the investment in digital technology has a long- range, cost-savings
advantage. The production and distribution costs of communicating
and sharing information approaches zero when done digitally. Ultimately,
a well structured and maintained digital communication system will
result in satisfied members and association growth and viability.
The Droz Group's ability to provide digital services in-house enhances these
benefits and the cost-savings.
With
skilled in-house staff, The Droz Group can design and maintain a home page specifically
for your organization. The Droz Group has spent several years investing in electronic
and digital services and is, therefore, one of the very few association
management firms that possesses the technology to create and maintain
individual Home Pages for our clients.
Since
we strongly believe that the internet will quickly become one of the
primary vehicles for information dissemination, The Droz Group is committed to
continuing to invest in the development of electronic communication
systems.

and reimbursement news, and professional practice information are available
