Member 365 Rebuild

Thanks to the California Department of Social Services training grant, the Association worked with our membership management platform, Member365, to streamline several membership and training processes to allow counties more access/control to member information. The project began in September of 2020 and launched July 1, 2021.

BUILD OVERVIEW

The rebuild converted management of memberships from the individual employee to the county program management team giving more power to each county program to manage and view their members. These new features include:

  • Chapter Management: Creates chapters (county programs) that will improve membership management and allow roles within each county to manage their own members in real time
  • Membership Renewal: Streamlines the membership renewal and billing process through improved membership verification and group billing – No more individual membership payments. All membership renewals will be done by an assigned County Program Membership Manager and noted on one master invoice generated by M365
  • Member Certification: Allows designated contacts within each county program to view/download their members certification records
  • Class Management: Streamlines the verification and payment of group classes by M365 creating an invoice for classes taken by County Program members once a class roster has been uploaded into the system

Chapter Management Roles

Roles were created in the system to allow for the proper management of each county program (i.e. PA|PG|PC program) and include:

  • Owner: This is the person who owns the County fee and can assign the subsequent roles of Secondary Contact, Membership Manager and Billing Contact
  • Secondary Contact (Back-up to Owner): Will have the same permissions as the owner to assign roles
  • Billing Contact (BC): Receives and pays the applicable invoices for the individual membership applications and renewals and training fees (Can have up to two staff members assigned to the role if needed)
  • Membership Manager (MM): Manages the member/renewal list and other membership permissions, retrieve member certification records and submit group classes for member credits (Can have up to two staff members assigned to the role if needed)

When is Renewal Season?

STARTING JULY 1, 2024: Membership Managers (MM) can review and submit their county program’s annual membership renewal starting July 1 – 31 each year. During renewal season MM can add and delete memberships as well as change current member’s membership types.

Please Note: Memberships are not considered renewed until payment has been received in full. Any renewal membership payments received 90 days after July 1 will be considered lapsed and those memberships will be placed on hold until payment has been received.

Unfortunately, you can only have one Owner (This is the Principle or Designated Contact for the County program that holds the County Program Membership) and one Secondary Contact. The good news is you can have up to two Billing Contacts and two Member Managers (MM) per County program if you so choose. We ask that you do not add more than 2 MM or Billing Contacts as it can cause system issues. Additionally, only 1 MM can edit and submit the roster each year. If more than 1 MM makes edits to the roster, the billing will be split into separate invoices.

Membership renewals will happen in bulk. After July 1, the assigned Membership Manager will get an email informing them that they need to log into M365 to renew their staff’s membership for the new fiscal year. You can learn more by clicking on the Membership Manager Training above. Please note: All memberships are considered renewed when payment has been received from the County Program.
Yes, you can add new County Program members to your Chapter roster when you renew each year. Once you have submitted your renewal list, all other new members will need to apply via our website by visiting our Become a Member page on the Association’s website.
Unfortunately no, Membership Managers can not renew their county program’s memberships before July 1. All system requests to renew county memberships en masse will be rejected and can be reprocessed after July 1.
