Foundation Trusts

If you are beginning your journey to Foundation Trust status, you have to comply with Monitor requirements, try and handle the membership management yourself, or outsource this to an external database management company.  MES, together with Electoral Reform Services, is the only organisation that can offer you an end-to-end solution to help you through the process, from recruitment to storage and analysis of your membership data to running Board of Governor elections  

• Engaging your membership – we formulate recruitment strategies, improve your marketing materials, support recruitment campaigns and manage events
• Data Support Service - our secure, flexible and low-cost on-site database management means your data will be election-ready and you can generate reports to devise membership engagement strategies.  Click here to find out about our database and see it in action.
• Membership Report to Monitor – we can help you provide Monitor with a breakdown of your membership size and movements, and an analysis of your current membership.
• Board of Governor Elections – as part of the Electoral Reform Services family we are fully aware of, and have had enormous experience in, the legislative requirements of the conduct of ballots.  We liaise with Monitor, handle the nominations process, issue notice of Poll, handle all elements of the election and issue results.
• Security - we know that data security can be an issue.  We would like to reassure you that our system uses 128-bit encryption for day-to-day transactions on a client’s database site.  This is industry standard and consistent with online banking levels of security and is provided by Verisign, which has a robust industry history in IT security.
