Powerful SPARC Member Resources: SPARC Connect's Collections

Posted By: Amy Grier SPARC News,

One of the many benefits of being a SPARC member is access to SPARC Connect, our new community hub for professional development, communication, and collaboration. Since launching in October, we’ve already seen many insightful exchanges in the member forum, from discussions of best practices for facility rentals to handling summer registrations and designing new logos.

SPARC Connect also houses a wealth of valuable resources for SPARC members. You can find all of these under Collections, an easy-to-browse page waiting for you to explore.

Did you miss the latest SPARC Effect podcast episode or that webinar on parent retention? Looking for slides from conference sessions? Reports compiled by SPARC? It’s all in Collections, one click away from the SPARC Connect member forum.

To find it, click on Resources at the top of the SPARC Connect home page. In the dropdown menu, click Collections.

Scroll through the options, then click on the Collection you want to view--in the example below, Podcast Episodes--and it will take you to a full list of the resources in that category. 

Everything in Collections is included in your membership:

  • Recordings of roundtable discussions and webinars
  • Podcast episodes
  • SPARC Connect user guides
  • Slides from past conference sessions
  • SPARC Exchange, featuring information about our business partners
  • SPARC Reports, including the 2023 Compensation and Position Report
  • SPARC Tools, such as the Auxiliary Programs Scorecard and our new feature, SPARC Tool of the Week
