Understanding the Report Statuses

  • Potential Incorrectly Located Member

The definitions of these statuses will be included in the email you receive, providing you with insights into the membership gaps your association may have.

Next Steps

With the information from the Membership Gap Report, you now have a list of potential gaps in your membership. Here are some actions you can take:

  • Reach out to potential new members to inquire about your association.

  • Update contact information for members who may have changed schools or emails.

Important Note

Keep in mind that some contacts may not be the exact members you are looking for. AMP utilizes various data sources to provide you with the best contact information for each school or district.
