Membership management index

Please note

There is NO link from your FreeToastHost site to membership information in the Toastmasters International database. You need to enter and update the information yourself.

However, you can download the information from Club Central and use it to add new members in bulk.
See http://support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/importing-membership-list-from-toastmasters-international for details.

The Membership management panel contains a lot of different options. Not all of them are needed straight away. We suggest focusing first on the basic items and coming back to the others as you need them.

Keep your membership list up to date

Remember that the information on your club site will not update automatically when people leave the club.

We recommend that, after each renewal round, you get the latest membership information from Club Central and match your club membership details to the official ones. Members who have left the club can be moved to the Former Members category.

Remember also to change the officer designations in July, and also in January if your club elects its officers semiannually.

In addition, it's a good idea to review the guest and prospect tabs, to remove people who are unlikely to return to the club.
