Preparing, distributing, and reporting on mandated member communications is often a resource-draining and time-consuming process.

Worse, failure to comply with strict service level agreements and deadlines can result in penalties for non-compliance including monitoring, fines, and the risk of contract non-renewal.
Today, this blog is commencing a series on the topic of mandated member communications, including the different types that currently (and potentially) could exist, as well as new methods for companies to improve their process for staying compliant.
