Create a Member Directory Report

Create a Member Directory Report
One common report required by most chambers is a listing of member businesses – a member directory report.
ChamberMaster provides several methods of producing the desired output, each allowing a customized selection of fields to be included. All methods will produce a member directory but each method has its pros and cons and truly becomes a matter of personal preference
Predefined Member Directory
A somewhat pre-defined report, included in the Reports module, is available that sorts your members by category. Active members are already pre-selected but a simple checkbox allows courtesy members to be added if desired. A certain amount of customization is built-in to this report due to the requirement that you select your own fields. The resulting report may optionally be copied into your own word processing program and modified as desired. Creating a standard custom report with a custom layout is also an option.
Member Directory with Logos
If you have the Marketing Package add-on or a Member Benefit Campaign is running at your location in collaboration with ChamberMaster, then running the new Member Directory with Logos report will list your members and their uploaded member logo when applicable. Members without their logo will also list.
Mail Merge Member Directory
Taking custom report information and downloading it into a file to be brought into your word processing program through the mail merge feature provides an additional method of creating your member directory report. “Downloading ChamberMaster Data” and “Performing a Mail Merge with MS Word” provides detailed steps to accomplish this with both Microsoft Word 2003 and 2007.
This same download that can be used with Microsoft Word’s mail merge feature could also be used as the data source for your local printing business to create a professional-looking member directory report. Follow the download instructions to create a file that can be emailed or given to your local printer.
