📇 Roster Upgrades

Two helpful enhancements are now live:

The roster is searchable by preferred full name and supports partial searches with an asterisk (e.g., kath* will return Kathy, Katherine, Kathryn, etc.).
A new Auto-Renew column shows which members are enrolled in automatic renewal—useful when doing renewal outreach, as these members can be skipped.

🕊️ Deceased Members Visibility

Members marked as deceased and active within the last four years now appear in the Inactive roster view, reducing confusion when records seem to disappear.

Deceased members are excluded from email sends when using Inactive Within Last 4 Years.
To report or correct a deceased status, use the three-dot menu on the roster or email membership@lwv.org.

📘 Admin Guide Access & Other Improvements

Several small updates were made to improve usability:

The Admin Guide is now linked in more places, including the League home tile view and directly within Support Articles.
State League admins can now view all roster views for local Leagues and export from that screen.
Pending Payments exports now include the date column shown on screen.
State leaders can now see officers of Member-at-Large units in the Local League Officer list.

🎁 Gift Memberships

Online gift memberships are now available! Members can purchase a gift by logging into the portal and clicking Gift in the Grow Our Community box.

Any League may be selected; dues start at $20.
Use the recipient’s existing portal email to avoid duplicates.
Leagues receive standard new-member notifications, recipients get welcome emails, and purchasers will be reminded when it’s time to renew the gift.

🔗 Merging ClubExpress Records

A fix is in place for duplicate records caused by renewals using a different email address.

When duplicates are reported, LWVUS will now preserve the original account identifiers and update the original ClubExpress record.
Leagues should then drop the new ClubExpress record, avoiding loss of teams or permissions.Contact LWVUS if issues persist.
