Building on a wave of recent growth—including a new office, the hiring of a development director, and expanded programs—the Jazz Club of Sarasota will soon implement a modern customer relationship management (CRM) system thanks to a $6,200 grant from the Carolyn Caruthers Fund II at the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. The new platform, called Join IT, introduces a suite of features designed to make the membership registration process simpler and more intuitive. With self-service tools, members will be able to log into a personal portal to update their information, renew memberships, and make donations directly. Join It also integrates an interactive events calendar linked to Eventbrite, allowing members to access tickets more easily while automatically applying member discounts—streamlining what has historically been a cumbersome, multi-step process. Digital membership cards will also be available, enabling quick access through mobile phone wallets.
