Finding a member directory without joining the organization

[Donna Simmons]

I came across a website where I would like to pull the members names as well as any contact information but I do not want to pay to join.  Is there a way that I can pull those members names and any contact info without joining?

It very much depends on the organization. Some would have a directory of members available publicly (some, on purpose, some, by mistake); other would have it available to members only or not at all.

As the first step, you can try to X-ray the site. You can also search for on Google to try and find members elsewhere, using searches like

• "member of <organization>" phone email
• "member of <organization>" site:linkedin.com

I've also found that local chapter sites, if they exist, often have quite a bit of info.

Thank you Irina!  I found the LinkedIn string to be the most helpful with my search.
