On September 1, 1998, ASCD will begin using new association management database software (iMIS) and accounting software (Platinum). These databases are the primary tools that the Association uses to maintain and update member and customer records. Both iMIS and Platinum are well-known industry leaders and have excellent customer support. ASCD staff members have been working to ensure that this transition is "transparent" to our members, who will continue to receive the same high-quality and timely service and benefits they now enjoy.
