A federation is an umbrella organization that brings together various clubs, associations, or organizations with a common goal or interest. It offers support, coordination, and advocacy for its members and can provide services or resources to strengthen the functioning of the clubs.
Specifically for Federations, within Clubs, follow-up of:
- Layered Structure: Federation and Departments
- Member Management
- Memberships – Federation contribution
- Activity management – Federal and Interdepartmental activities
- Communications
- Reporting
Federation Setup
Within the Federation Setup, various settings are available in the Advanced Settings.
Some of these can be managed by the Federation Admin.
In addition, Klubs Admin can make one-time adjustments to additional settings; this is done in consultation, in line with the structure of the specific Federation.
Federation – Departments
In Klubs, the layered structure is divided into Main, the federation, and Sub, the departments.
Whereby the set-up of the Main club is important, as a number of elements are adopted here in each department.
Departments
The departments are separate entities (multi-clubs) that can operate independently of each other. And this in terms of:
- Separate settings per club: branding, membership list, membership settings, accounting tracking, activity settings, ...
- Completely separate communications: branding, e-mail texts, mailings, ...
- Possible separate accounting follow-up
- ...
In addition, the Koepel or main club is also a multi-club, with independent management.
Departments – Set-up
Adding departments is done based on the Main club set-up, where specific elements can be adopted.
Where the following matters are important:
- Membership Types
This is especially true for the Membership types linked to the federation level; - Meta fields on member profile
This is for the joint management of specific profile information; - Maintaining the Corporate Structure (Company / Members)
