Leading technology platform joined thousands of organizers and movement leaders in Philadelphia to explore how progressive organizations can transform moments of action into sustained engagement

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NGP VAN, the leading technology provider for Democratic and progressive campaigns and organizations, joined thousands of organizers, advocates, strategists, and elected officials at Netroots Nation 2026 in Philadelphia, serving as a premier sponsor and convening conversations on one of the movement’s most pressing challenges: how to transform moments of action into lasting volunteer engagement.

Throughout the conference, NGP VAN connected with organizers from across the country to demo product innovations, exchange best practices, and explore how technology can help Democratic and progressive organizations deepen supporter relationships and sustain engagement beyond rapid-response moments.

NGP VAN also brought together leaders from the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Indivisible, and the National Education Association (NEA) to discuss strategies for turning surges in grassroots participation into long-term volunteer power. Drawing from their experiences organizing during pivotal political and advocacy campaigns, panelists shared lessons on volunteer retention, supporter journeys, and building durable organizing infrastructure.

“The best ideas for our platform come from the people doing the work on the ground,” said Jocelyn Ritcheson, Manager, NGP VAN Customer Success. “Netroots Nation brings together some of the most innovative organizers in the country, and we’re proud to learn from their experiences and build tools that help them meet the challenges of organizing in an increasingly fast-moving environment.”

The discussion underscored a growing priority across the progressive movement to ensure moments of action become pathways to deeper engagement. As progressive organizations face new and evolving challenges, many are seeking innovative approaches to help supporters remain connected, involved, and empowered long after a single event, campaign, or news cycle.

Attendees also had the opportunity to connect directly with the NGP VAN team at their booth and learn about recent platform investments designed to help organizations recruit volunteers, strengthen supporter engagement, and drive action more effectively. Featured releases included MiniVAN Notes, which helps organizers capture and act on information from voter and supporter conversations; Inbox Insights, which helps campaigns and organizations optimize email deliverability and supporter communications; and the latest Mobilize features designed to help organizations better capture supporter interest, streamline event planning, and convert participation into long-term engagement.

The conversations throughout the conference reinforced a central theme of NGP VAN’s work: lasting change requires more than moments of mobilization. It requires the relationships, systems, and technology that enable supporters to stay engaged and continue taking action over time.

NGP VAN remains committed to partnering with organizers, advocates, and campaigns across the country to build the infrastructure that powers Democratic and progressive victories and strengthens civic participation year-round.

CINC Systems and HOA Invest Partner to Automate Off-Book Reserve Visibility for Community Association Management

Published

on

By

New integration brings HOA Invest account balances, transactions, and statements directly into CINC, giving management companies a more connected view of off-book reserves without disrupting existing banking relationships.

DULUTH, Ga., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CINC Systems, the AI-native platform for community association management, today announced a new integration and partnership with HOA Invest, a platform which grants access to investment advisory solutions built for community associations.

The integration addresses one of the most persistent financial visibility challenges in community association management: off-book reserve accounts held outside a management company’s partner banking relationship.

A non-partner account is a reserve investment account held outside the management company’s integrated banking partners—typically a brokerage or custodial account at a broker-dealer (for example, Merrill Lynch “ML”, Morgan Stanley “MS”, LPL Financial, or UBS, etc.)—so balances, transactions and statements are not automatically visible inside the management company’s accounting platform.

The integration is intended for associations that have moved their reserves into non-partner investment accounts (i.e. ML, MS, UBS, etc), self-managed associations seeking more structured reserve investment support, and accounting teams currently reconciling off-book reserve accounts by hand. HOA Invest supports these accounts through advisory affiliates and preferred institutional custodial platforms, including Charles Schwab and Fidelity Institutional.

Today, many associations maintain reserve funds across off book non-partner investment accounts (i.e. ML, MS, UBS, etc) or investment accounts that are not directly visible inside their management software. Managers and accounting teams often have to wait for monthly statements, collect updates from boards or advisors, log into separate portals, and manually enter balances into CINC. That process creates delays, increases the risk of errors, and makes it harder to deliver timely board reporting.

Through the integration, account balances, transactions, statements and fixed income reports managed through the HOA Invest platform can flow directly into CINC, giving management companies a more automated, centralized view of reserve information without interrupting an associations existing banking relationships. Investment holdings visibility is expected to be added in a future phase, to include underlying holdings such as CDs and U.S. Treasuries.

“Community association management is becoming more complex, and financial visibility is one of the places where that complexity shows up most clearly,” said Ryan Davis, Chief Executive Officer of CINC Systems. “Boards need timely, trusted information to make better decisions. Managers need less manual work standing between them and the communities they serve. This partnership with HOA Invest helps bring off-book reserve visibility into the same connected platform where management companies already manage accounting, banking, payments, operations, and board reporting.”

The partnership gives management companies a way to reduce the manual work associated with tracking off-book reserves while strengthening transparency for boards and communities. With HOA Invest and CINC, balances can be updated automatically, transactions can be integrated, statements can be centralized, and reserve-related records can be easier to access for audits, board packets, financial reviews, and reporting.

For boards, the integration provides greater confidence that reserve information is easier to see, easier to review, and connected to the financial workflows their management company already uses. For managers and accounting teams, it reduces the need to chase statements, key in balances, and reconcile information across disconnected systems.

“Reserve management has always required trust — trust that the information is accurate, that the funds are protected, and that the right people have visibility at the right time,” said Jessica McConnell, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of HOA Invest. “This partnership gives management companies and boards a more modern way to manage that visibility. HOA Invest gives, through its affiliates, access to fiduciary guidance and tailored investment support, while CINC brings the integrated accounting and operational platform management companies rely on every day. Together, we provide a solution where associations can manage reserve funds with greater transparency, efficiency, and confidence.”

HOA Invest affiliated fiduciary investment advisors work directly with managers and boards to review financials and provide tailored reserve investment recommendations. Unlike approaches that require associations to move operating or reserve accounts away from existing relationships, the CINC and HOA Invest partnership is designed to support reserves already held beyond the primary bank, giving boards and management companies a more connected way to manage investment visibility while maintaining continuity in their broader banking structure.

The integration reflects CINC’s broader strategy to bring accounting, operations, resident engagement, board governance, banking, payments, and workflow intelligence into one connected platform for community association management.

The CINC and HOA Invest integration is available for eligible customers. To learn more, CINC customers can contact their Client Growth Manager or connect with HOA Invest to review reserve investment needs and activation steps.
