AMO transformed NCHE’s membership operations and digital platform, creating an accessible system that better serves history educators nationwide.
The National Council for History Education (NCHE) serves as the authoritative voice in history education, supporting educators from elementary classrooms through university lecture halls with essential resources, professional development opportunities, and membership services. The organization’s mission centers on advancing history education through advocacy, providing teaching resources, and creating professional connections among history educators nationwide.
Our Partnership Approach
- Comprehensive member database organization and management
- Automated membership renewals and dues collection
- Professional development event registration and tracking
- Educational resource access control and member portal
The Challenge:
NCHE’s operations were severely hampered by their legacy Morweb platform, which created significant barriers to both member service and internal productivity. The organization was struggling with manual membership processes and a proprietary CMS that frustrated staff and limited their ability to serve their diverse educator membership effectively.
Our Approach
AMO partnered with ArcStone to deliver a comprehensive solution that addressed both NCHE’s membership management challenges and technical platform limitations. This integrated approach leveraged AMO’s educational organization expertise alongside ArcStone’s WordPress development capabilities to create a seamless experience for both staff and members.
AMO Platform Implementation:
- Membership Operations Modernization: AMO’s platform eliminated NCHE’s manual membership processes by implementing automated renewal systems, streamlined conference registration, and comprehensive member self-service capabilities. The system was specifically configured to handle NCHE’s complex membership structure, including different educator categories, institutional memberships, and professional development tracking requirements
- Platform Migration Excellence: ArcStone’s technical team executed a complete migration from the problematic Morweb system to a modern WordPress platform integrated with AMO’s membership management capabilities. This process involved carefully transferring over 225 pages of educational content while improving information architecture and implementing full accessibility compliance
- Educational Organization Optimization: The AMO platform was customized to serve NCHE’s unique needs as an educational association, including professional development credit tracking, resource access management, and member networking capabilities that support history educators at all levels of their careers
WordPress-AMO Integration: The ArcStone-designed consumer website integrates seamlessly with AMO’s membership backend, ensuring consistent branding and unified data management while serving both public and member audiences.
Partnership Success
NCHE now operates with dramatically improved efficiency and member service capabilities, empowering staff to focus on advancing history education rather than managing technology. The integrated AMO and ArcStone solution delivered measurable improvements across all organizational functions.
AMO’s comprehensive platform provides NCHE with advanced capabilities for supporting their educator community, including member directory features that facilitate professional networking, event management tools that streamline professional development offerings, and resource management systems that ensure valuable educational materials remain accessible to members nationwide.
