MemDir is a web-based members' directory that keeps every member's contact details in one place and gives your committee a current list instead of a spreadsheet that went stale months ago. Associations, clubs and alumni bodies use it to stay in touch without chasing details by hand.
What a live members' directory saves you
- No more chasing members for the phone number that changed last year.
- One current list the whole committee can see, not five copies in five inboxes.
- New members added in minutes, not appended to a sheet nobody trusts.
- A way to reach the whole body without a mailing list full of dead addresses.
Why the members' spreadsheet always goes stale
One person maintains the member list, and the moment they are busy, it stops being current. People change numbers, move house and switch email, and none of it reaches the sheet. Copies get emailed around, each edited separately, until nobody knows which one is right. By the time you need to reach everyone, the list is months behind and half the addresses bounce.
What MemDir changes
MemDir holds one live directory that everyone works from. The committee maintains a single current record instead of merging copies, and members reach the directory from any browser. When a detail changes, it changes in one place, so the list you rely on is the list that is actually true. The stale spreadsheet stops being the thing that lets you down.
Who uses it
MemDir fits associations, clubs, alumni groups, trade bodies and communities: any body whose value depends on members being able to find and reach each other. If your membership list is the backbone of what you do, keeping it live is worth more than keeping it in a file.
Retire the stale member spreadsheet
Put your members in one live directory the whole committee can trust, and reach everyone without the bounces.

Who is MemDir for?
MemDir suits any body that keeps a list of members: associations, clubs, alumni groups, trade bodies and communities. If you maintain a members' list, MemDir keeps it current in one place.
Can members update their own details?
A live directory is designed so details stay current without the committee chasing every change by hand. Confirm the exact update flow for your body, then members and the committee work from the same current list.
Do members need to install anything?
No. MemDir opens in a web browser on any device, so members reach the directory without downloading anything.
Can we control what is visible?
A members' directory is meant to show members what they need while keeping the committee in control of the record. Set the visibility that suits your body.
How do we start?
You import your existing member list and the directory is live from there, so you replace the stale spreadsheet without rebuilding it from scratch.
