Associations going digital

Tools for associations

Tools for digital cooperation

The current coronavirus crisis is forcing associations to find new and digital ways for managers to work together.

To ease this transition, we have compiled a list of practical tools for communicating digitally, organising work and holding virtual meetings.

In the service of associations

About us

vitamin B has been providing board members in the voluntary sector with useful information, individual advice and further training since 2000.

With numerous respective services available in the English-speaking world, vitamin B primarily focuses on German-speaking Switzerland.

We have set up this service page, which includes some current English-language services for associations in Switzerland, with the aim of sharing our experiences with English-speaking associations.

  • To get involved quickly in specific projects
  • To no longer simply provide free labour, but contribute ideas and have their say
  • To deal with and develop projects non-hierarchically
