The Sherwood Group Teams Up With Votenet Solutions Inc. to Deliver Secure Online Elections to Its Clients
Leading Association Management Firm leverages eBallot to enhance their service offering, streamline voting and provide convenience to association members
Washington, D.C., May 4, 2006 – Votenet Solutions, Inc., the leading provider of secure, self-administered online voting and nomination software for associations, announced today that The Sherwood Group, a full service association management firm headquartered in Northbrook, Ill., licensed eBallot for use in its client organization elections.
The Sherwood Group has already deployed eBallot for several elections and plans to expand the program to conduct elections for all of the firm’s clients, including board and component group leadership elections and ballots for bylaws changes and other important business.
In keeping with Sherwood’s commitment to leadership in association management and providing clients with superior value and service, Sherwood is the first association management firm to offer eBallot to all of its clients.
Sherwood researched several online voting products but found eBallot to be the most comprehensive, secure and reliable solution.
"Our clients are international organizations, which presents a real challenge when you’re relying on postal delivery of time-sensitive election material and ballots," commented Greg Schultz, Vice President at The Sherwood Group. “In addition to economic and feature benefits, we felt it was critical to level the playing field for our global clients with internet-based elections.
“We chose eBallot because of its features and security, ease by which our staff members can set up and manage elections, and the excellent end user interface and experience it delivers for our client customers.
“The results and feedback have been impressive. Election participation has increased, in some cases quite dramatically, and we have detailed and accurate reports and results in real-time. eBallot allows us to deliver high quality online elections to our clients and, in turn, they are building stronger relationships with their members,” Schultz said. eBallot provides a fully integrated election management system enabling association management firms to use one Web-based solution to manage multiple elections.
eBallot can also integrate with iMIS, TIMSS and other leading membership management software packages.
