In my club, membership applications normally go through this process:
- Application Received
- VPM - Initiates "screening committee" interview
- VPM - Upon member approval, refer to Treasurer
- Treasurer - send invoice
- Treasurer - confirm payment received
- Treasurer - add member to TMI and make corresponding payment
- Treasurer - handoff to VPM
- VPM - add member to portal
I'm thinking of switching this up - in particular, we're thinking of having the VPM add new to the portal (step #

members BEFORE the Treasurer gets involved. This would streamline the process for the VPM.
With this in mind, I wonder about the implication of adding a member to the portal before their membership is established in TMI... is there any negative functional or administrative consequence I should be aware of?
Many thanks.
