Vocalmeet Is Revolutionizing the Way Member-Based Organizations Deliver Education Online




Many organizations and associations complain that their Learning Management System (LMS) is not user friendly, lacks the ability to engage members, and is outdated, with limited opportunities to monetize online education content.

If it’s time to look for a new LMS that is capable of delivering your association or organization members a better user experience, one that uses state-of-the-art technology and offers unparalleled customer service and project management, Vocalmeet may very well be the solution you’ve been looking for. And, in this era of change, the focus on monetizing your continuing education programs offer countless opportunities for non-dues revenue and membership growth.

Vocalmeet makes it simple and easy for members and non-members to find, purchase, and complete continuing education courses through their innovative design and simple layout, and they also provide guidance and technical support for those who may need assistance.

With Vocalmeet’s customizable e-commerce options, members can expect an easy Amazon-like experience when purchasing their continuing education courses.

Many attorneys, for example, rush to complete their Continuing Legal Education (CLE) requirements during the last three calendar months of the year, before their year-end deadline, and where an outdated LMS will struggle to handle the rush of users on the platform. Vocalmeet is perfectly capable of dealing with a large and rapid influx of system users.

The Birmingham Bar Association uses Vocalmeet’s LMS for their Continuing Legal Education (CLE) programs. The team at Vocalmeet takes care of all aspects of implementation, platform set-up, course development and technical support to the association’s members and non-members.

When asked to describe her experience with Vocalmeet, Jennifer Buettner, Executive Director at The Birmingham Bar Association states, “The onboarding process was incredibly easy and the Vocalmeet staff has been extremely pleasant to work with. I went through the entire process myself to complete a CLE course, and I continue to be pleased with my decision to sign on with Vocalmeet.”

Like The Birmingham Bar Association, any association that chooses Vocalmeet is able to focus their full attention on the core business initiatives of delivering quality and value to its members by relying on and trusting in Vocalmeet’s easy-to-use, online learning platform.

Vocalmeet makes the development of fresh, state-of-the-art continuing education platforms easy and simple for associations, and their free marketing services allow an association to quickly realize a return on their initial investment. The team at Vocalmeet believes that automation is vital to the success of continuing education programs as it leads to higher revenue and better member engagement.

An easy-to-use online education platform is also essential when it comes to increasing the sales for online courses, as members are far more likely to flock to a user-friendly solution like Vocalmeet, than one that takes time and resources to understand.

Meet Vocalmeet: Empowering Associations Through Access to Online Education




For Dr. Laurelle Jno Baptiste, Vice President of Professional Services at Vocalmeet, an award-winning innovator, technologist and educator, access to quality education has been a life-long passion.

Her passion for education grew into a hunger to succeed, which has propelled her into a career helping associations, learning institutions, and organizations across North America drive technology innovation through the development of online learning platforms.

Having led the implementation of hundreds of online learning platforms over the past 12 years, Dr. Jno Baptiste knows a thing or two about the changing landscape of this digital age. For example, this era of change, what has been termed “The Great Resignation” hasn’t caught everyone off guard, and has been a long time coming, according to Anthony Koltz, associate professor of management at Texas A&M University, who recently coined the term.

Dr. Jno Baptiste believes that the global health crisis has only exasperated a problem that was already underway. However, this mass exodus from the workforce opens up opportunities for associations and member-based organizations to excel and provide opportunities for solutions.

She believes that associations are uniquely positioned to offer members a much-needed sense of community and upskill opportunities that are needed during an era of change.

Offering opportunities for people to access their online learning platforms from anywhere, and at any time, in addition to providing purposeful education, arms individuals with the tools they need to transition from one position or career to the next.

Being at the forefront of the digital revolution of online learning and being able to help associations navigate this digital age is among the proudest of accomplishments for Dr. Jno Baptiste. And, she believes that as technologies continue to advance, the opportunities to enhance the online learning experience continues to grow, giving associations and organizations an opportunity to thrive and succeed as well, by offering members even more state-of-the-art learning technologies through Vocalmeet.

“Access to education changed my life, so I’m passionate about connecting knowledge, technology and people by transforming the way organizations deliver education online,” says Dr. Jno Baptiste.

There are several lessons to be learned from the rapid transition to remote working, learning and from the massive changes in the workforce. One of those lessons is that creating a positive and productive work culture is more important than ever. Using an online platform to give association members an opportunity to share their thoughts, while feeling part of a community, is essential to a healthy work culture.

Another method of empowering association members is through a focus on education and personal growth. Professional work development is an important part of helping association members grow, and advance their professional lives. However, non-work related, personal development is a big factor as to why people seek other opportunities.

Empowering them to work on their personal wellness is more important than ever.

“The ‘great resignation’ does not have to mean doom and gloom for organizations and associations, because it actually opens up new opportunities to improve,” says Dr. Jno Baptiste.

Thanks to online technology, bringing on new members is not limited by geographic location, so the membership pool is diverse and vast.

An opportunity exists to use technology to make new members feel comfortable, and a part of the community.

To have access to the expertise, experience, and passion of purpose-driven technologist, like those at Vocalmeet, the great resignation will prove to be the catalyst for positive and productive change.

“I am honored and excited to be a part of this transitional time in online learning and engagement, and I feel empowered by providing the advanced technology and professionalism that Vocalmeet has to offer,” adds Dr. Jno Baptiste.

For more than twelve years, the leadership team at Vocalmeet has worked closely with professional associations across North America, to enhance their member benefits by providing online, continuing professional education platforms. Vocalmeet has earned its stellar reputation from a steadfast commitment to client success, and by providing exceptional project management and customer service at every level because they understand the unique needs of associations and organizations and what it takes to succeed.
