The member map
Give your association's network a home. An interactive map puts every member on the map, in one place, for everyone to see.
Put your members on the map!
If you run an association, chances are your member directory is a static list - a dropdown, a PDF, a table sorted alphabetically. It tells people your members exist. It doesn't show them where your members are located, or bring their stories to life.
A Maptivate member map turns that list into something people actually want to explore. Every member appears as a point on an interactive map of your network. It is searchable, filterable, and linked through to their own featured showcase pop-up with photos, video, and their story of what makes them worth visiting or working with. It puts your whole network on display, at once, in a way a directory never could.
We built exactly this for the Zoo and Aquarium Association (ZAA), mapping member zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries and wildlife parks across Australasia. Feedback from ZAA members has been overwhelmingly positive since launch.
Key benefits
-
Elevate your member's profile and create living map of where your organisation reaches. Visitors, partners, and prospective members can see the shape and scale of your network at a glance.
-
Each member gets a dedicated profile within the map including photos, description, links, and their own story. It gives smaller or regional members the same visibility as your biggest members.
-
Instant language translation and accessibility features are built in which is useful if your membership, or its visitors, are international or have access needs.
-
Your map is designed around your association’s brand, so it feels like an extension of your organisation, not a third-party plug-in.
-
Add a new member, update a listing, or retire an old one yourself through your own Content Management System. No waiting on a web developer.
-
A live data dashboard will help you track user engagement and optimise experiences. See which members, regions, or categories attract the most attention. Useful evidence for membership renewals, sponsorship conversations, and board reporting.
-
Whether your members sit across one state, the whole country, or span international federations and chapters, the map scales with your structure.
