A partnership with a North American group is bringing hundreds of downtown management organizations under Ottawa-based Member365’s umbrella.
The International Downtown Association works with “downtown champions” – business associations and local government entities like Ottawa’s business improvement areas (BIA) – across the continent, providing them with resources and industry events.
The IDA announced a partnership with Member365 to provide the latter’s membership management software to its network of organizations, five of which are based in Ottawa, according to the IDA’s interactive map.
