NC3C has officially moved to a new website and member platform

We have some exciting news to share: NC3C has officially moved to a new website and member platform — and we think you're going to love it.


This has been a long time coming. Over the years, our previous platform left us with more than a few frustrations like emails that never seemed to arrive, records that were difficult to manage, and login issues that caused more headaches than they solved. We knew we could do better for our members.


So we got to work. After careful planning, we made the move to AssociationSphere for our member management, paired with Blue Hill Sites for a fresh, easy-to-navigate front-facing website. We quietly launched in late April, and now we're ready to officially introduce you to your new digital home.


What's new — and what it means for you

A more robust member experience

Our new platform gives us a significantly more capable Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, which means cleaner records, better data management, and a more seamless experience for everyone involved.


A Members Portal

One of the features we're most excited about is the new Members Portal, a dedicated space where you can access member resources, update your information, and stay connected with the NC3C community.


How to Log In to the Membership Portal


A website that actually works the way we need it to

Our new Content Management System (CMS) is easier to use, which means our team can keep content fresh, accurate, and looking great — without jumping through hoops to make simple updates. Expect a more current and polished experience going forward.


Help us shape what comes next

We are still learning the full capabilities of this new platform, and we're genuinely excited about the possibilities ahead. If you've explored the site and have thoughts, ideas or feedback — we'd love to hear from you.

We have formed a Website Transition Committee to help guide ongoing improvements and make sure the platform truly serves our members well. If you'd like to be part of that effort, we'd be glad to have you. Sign up to join the Website Transition Committee here.


A Heartfelt Thank You

A transition like this doesn't happen without dedicated people putting in real time and effort. I want to personally thank everyone who helped make this possible. A special thank you to Dominique Clark, Payton Mills, James Hicks and Monique Williams who contributed behind the scenes — your work made this happen.

We're proud of how far we've come and genuinely excited about where we're headed. Explore the new site, log in to your portal, and let us know what you think.

In honor of our 20th anniversary this year, we’re inviting our members to help shape the look of our next chapter! We’re launching a Logo Design Contest to refresh our organization’s logo and visual identity. As an organization created for and powered by government communicators, we can’t think of a better way to mark this milestone than by tapping into the creativity of our own members. The contest is open to current NC3C members, and entries must be original, human-created designs. AI-generated logos or design elements are not permitted. Before getting started, please review the full contest guidelines for design requirements, eligibility and submission details. Submit your logo concept through this entry form by Nov. 1, 2026 . After entries close, the NC3C Board of Directors will review the submissions and narrow the field to a group of finalists in December. Then we’ll turn it over to you! Finalist designs will be shared with the full NC3C membership for a vote to help select our new logo. And yes, there’s a prize! The member behind the winning design will receive complimentary registration to the 2027 NC3C Annual Conference, plus a complimentary hotel stay during the conference. We’ll also recognize the winning designer as we celebrate NC3C’s 20th anniversary at our annual conference in the spring of 2027 (we look forward to sharing these details too!) We can’t wait to see what our talented NC3C members create!
