Case Study: American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) achieves 30-hour weekly time savings and re-engages 900 members with Novi AMS

Megan and Her Team Reclaimed 30 Hours a Week

The American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) faced an outdated Access database and manual processes that consumed up to 30 hours per week, created PayPal/payment confusion, and made managing 5,000+ members difficult—leaving longtime members disengaged. To address these challenges, AATF partnered with Novi AMS and adopted the Novi AMS membership management platform.

Novi AMS implemented tools like the Member Compass, streamlined event ticketing, and real-time chapter reporting, enabling members to self-manage accounts and staff to stop manual data entry. The result: AATF saved 30 hours of administrative work per week, re-engaged 900 returning or new members (many inactive for years), improved cash flow, and redirected staff time to new programs and outreach.
