On May 28th, Protech Associates hosted their monthly webinar with special guest, Dawn DiLorenzo, Director of Marketing at Web Scribble. As one of our AMS partners, it was a great opportunity to explore how associations can use career centers to drive both member engagement and non-dues revenue.

Key Takeaways from the Webinar

1. Career Centers Are More Than Job Boards

Dawn emphasized that modern career centers go far beyond simple job listings. A well-marketed career center becomes a central hub for professional development — offering resume tools, mentoring connections, interview coaching, and career path guidance. When members see their association as a career partner, not just a networking group, renewal rates increase significantly.

2. Marketing Your Career Center Is Essential

One of the biggest mistakes associations make is launching a career center and expecting members to find it on their own. Dawn shared a framework for creating a marketing strategy that drives consistent traffic to your career center. Key tactics include email campaigns timed around renewal periods, homepage prominence, and integrating career center links into event communications.

3. AMS Integration Unlocks Personalization

Integrating your career center with your Association Management System (AMS) allows you to personalize the member experience. When your AMS and career platform share data, you can surface relevant job opportunities, recommend career path content, and track which career services drive the most engagement — all automatically.

4. Measure What Matters

Dawn outlined four metrics every association should track for their career center:

  • Member engagement rate — what percentage of members actively use career services
  • Employer posting volume — a direct indicator of non-dues revenue potential
  • Time on platform — deeper engagement signals higher perceived value
  • Renewal correlation — do members who use career services renew at higher rates?

5. Start Small, Scale Fast

For associations just getting started, Dawn recommended launching with three core features: job listings, a resume database, and one additional career resource (such as mentoring or interview coaching). Once you prove value and build traffic, you can expand into career fairs, salary tools, and employer branding packages.
