Hi,
My name is Olena Lima

and I’m the Founder and Principal Consultant of MemberBoat, a digital marketing agency dedicated to helping professional associations and other membership organisations embrace emerging digital marketing tools.

I first started working with associations over a decade ago and I quickly fell in love with this sector. I admired the people I worked with and the passion they held for their professions. I was amazed by the dedication to raise industry standards and the willingness to share ideas and success stories. I’m extremely passionate about the success of memberships and communities. I appreciate what makes associations special and why they need to run their own race.

As years passed, I have always searched for a place where I could find people who share the same passion for membership marketing and who are simply on the same page with me in terms of understanding what it means to build a strong community.

Today I’d like to take the opportunity to invite YOU to join my Membership Marketing School, where you will be able to learn the latest marketing trends and tools and how they’re relevant to the association and membership setting, and hear from our industry peers! Let’s build stronger membership communities together!
