For chapters of professional associations
Your board runs it. We look after it.
Chapter Manager gives a chapter its website, event registration, payments, membership and CPE certificates in one system, built first for ACFE chapters. We host it, back it up, keep it secure, and move you over from the platform you use today.

Two sessions · 3.0 CPE
The problem
A board runs a website, events, payments, a member list and CPE, mostly in the evenings. The work is spread across tools that don’t talk to each other.
Registrations in one place, a paper sign-in sheet at the door, and certificates in a word processor afterwards.
Attendance by session, fields of study, a certificate for every attendee, and the attendance records the credentialing body expects. Boards often do this by hand, after the event.
Boards change every year or two. Logins, email addresses and how things were done go with the people who leave.
Setup charges, automatic yearly renewals and a cut of every payment add up for a chapter on a small budget.
What a chapter gets
Four parts that share one roster. A name entered once is there for registration, check-in and the certificate.
Website
Events and payments
Membership
CPE
We provide the certificates and records for each kind of credit. Your chapter remains the CPE sponsor, and keeping its approval to offer that credit is the chapter’s responsibility.
Hosting, nightly backups, security updates and support are included. Nobody on the board has to be the webmaster or keep plugins up to date.
Moving over
From StarChapter, Wild Apricot, WordPress, or a site a past officer built. We plan the move around your events and your current platform’s renewal date.
We look at your current site, your upcoming events and when your current platform renews.
Your pages, documents and past events move across. Your member roster moves under a data agreement.
Your chapter’s addresses and forwards are working on the new service before anything is switched off.
It stays registered in your chapter’s name. We manage it for you and hand it back whenever you ask.
A short overlap first, so there is no gap. We send the cancellation for you, timed so you don’t pay for another year.
Your data
Your records belong to the chapter. Not to us, and not to whoever was treasurer last year.

The move, done for you
Card payments: Stripe’s standard processing fees, paid from your chapter’s own Stripe account. We take no cut, and there are no per-attendee or per-certificate charges.
Email mailboxes on your chapter’s domain are billed to the chapter by Google, not by us.
Questions
No. Board members edit pages, events and the roster in a web browser. We do the setup and the move.
Into the chapter’s own Stripe account, and from there to the chapter’s bank account. We never hold chapter funds. You pay Stripe’s standard card fees and nothing on top to us.
Yes. Each session carries its ACFE field of study and its CPE hours, counted in 50-minute hours. Attendees check in by QR code. Certificates come from the attendance record, and the ACFE attendance export is ready after each session.
Your chapter is. Chapter Manager provides the tools: check-in by session, certificates in the format each program uses, and the attendance records it asks for. The chapter remains the CPE sponsor or provider, so keeping the right to offer each kind of credit is the chapter’s responsibility. That covers its NASBA sponsor registration, CLE accreditation with each state, or its standing under the ACFE’s chapter rules, and meeting each program’s requirements for content, instructors, attendance, evaluations and record keeping.
You take it with you: members, events, registrations, attendance, certificates, pages and files. You also get a license to run the version of the software you were on. When you ask, we delete our copy, and our backups of it age out on their normal schedule.
Yes. Your site runs on your chapter’s own domain, which stays registered in the chapter’s name. We set up email on that domain, with role addresses such as president@ and treasurer@ that pass from one officer to the next.
Yes. The CPE function is set up for the credit your members earn: ACFE CPE, AICPA and NASBA CPE for CPAs, CLE for attorneys, or another association’s continuing-education program. Each comes with its own fields of study, how credit hours are counted, the wording on the certificate and the attendance record your program requires. Tell us which credits your chapter offers and we set it up with you. We provide the certificates and records; your chapter stays the sponsor of its CPE.
