IMBA Empowers Local Chapters with Connected Membership Management in CiviCRM

Last updated: 21 Nov, 2025

The International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA) works to create, enhance, and protect great places to ride mountain bikes through a worldwide network of chapters and members. IMBA’s strength comes from this partnership between its national team and local chapters that lead trail building, education, and advocacy in their own regions.

To better support local chapters, Skvare helped IMBA develop a connected membership system built on CiviCRM and Drupal. The new setup gives each chapter access to the information and tools they need, without requiring separate databases or full backend access, so they can manage memberships, communicate with members, and strengthen their local communities.

Summary

By extending CiviCRM to support chapter-level management, IMBA created a more connected, efficient membership system that empowers local leaders and reinforces the strength of its international network.
