Beacon is a Membership Management System for u3as

* It allows any u3a to manage their data and communication with their members easily and efficiently

* It can be a huge time saver for those who manage membership and group information

* With new regulations on Data Privacy it ensures that u3as comply with all legal requirements

The Member's Portal allows members access in order to update their personal data stored in the system, and can allow them to see additional data about their groups, join new groups or join a waiting list (if the Group Leader uses these facilities).

Group Leaders and Trustees can be given access to Beacon Administration. They are given a username with permissions to see and edit data limited according to their need. Please see the Beacon User Guide, on the Beacon Administration page, for help with using the system.
