Healthcare Innovator Signs Two More National Associations with
Hundreds of Chapters To Its Rapidly Growing Network of Activity Clubs
DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Element3
Health today announced that two leading national associations —
American Sewing Guild (ASG) and American Volkssport Association (AVA) —
have adopted its GroupWorks platform for their organizations. The
associations will use GroupWorks as the technology foundation for
engaging with thousands of members in hundreds of clubs across the
country. GroupWorks is now the primary medium of communication for 90
ASG chapters, with plans to integrate 30 additional chapters, and all
225 AVA clubs nationally. The AVA is America’s largest walking club, and
GroupWorks will enhance the organization’s ability to manage thousands
of walks each year.
“When we heard the GroupWorks story, the synergy and alignment with our
mission was immediately clear,” said Henry Rosales, executive director
of the American Volkssport Association. “Together, our aim is to promote
health and wellness by combining physical activity with meaningful
engagement by club participants. We see GroupWorks as an excellent
solution for improving communication, connection and growing our
membership base.”
The American Sewing Guild is increasing its longstanding collaboration
with GroupWorks by using the platform to grow the association. After
successfully integrating the platform into its chapters over the past
few years, American Sewing Guild is now using GroupWorks as part of its
outreach to potential clubs and integrating the platform as part of the
onboarding process.
“We firmly believe our two organizations can grow together,” said Margo
Martin, executive director of the American Sewing Guild. “GroupWorks
makes group communication and administrative duties easy for chapters
and will help optimize our members’ sewing experiences to create deeper
engagement and increased satisfaction.”
“With hundreds of groups throughout the country, both the ASG and the
AVA are aligned with our mission to engage seniors around their passions
and increase their physical, social and mental activity,” said Spencer
Morgan, Element3 Health Founder and Chief Community Officer. “It’s
through collaborations likes these that we will succeed in positively
impacting millions of lives.”
GroupWorks is actively working with both organizations to educate and
train members on the platform’s features and benefits. Informational
club and member seminars will be conducted at the American Volkssport
Association’s annual convention in Albany, NY, as will continued
participation at American Sewing Guild conventions.
