💰 New Finances Screen
A new Finances screen is now available to help treasurers reconcile accounts. It includes four searchable tabs:
Stripe Transactions – View all Stripe payments to your League, filter by date, and see gross amount, fees, net amount, items included (dues, contributions), and transaction IDs.
Dues – See all dues payments (online and check), including total paid across local/state/national levels, payment method, notes (auto-renew, subsidy, multiple members), and transaction ID.
Offline Payments – Track check payments entered by your League, searchable by invoice number (MPS), with status (paid/pending), check number, and who entered the payment.
Contributions – View donations made during join/renew, with member name, date, and amount.
State Leagues will see slight variations, including separate tabs for local League dues and direct state members-at-large. A walkthrough recording will be available on the Member Portal Resources page.
🧠 Membership Brainstorming Series
LWVUS is launching a pilot program to collaborate with a small group of local Leagues on recruitment, engagement, and retention strategies. Participating Leagues will test ideas and help shape a membership toolkit to be shared nationally. Interested Leagues can sign up to participate or share existing resources.
📇 Roster Screen Change & Other Adjustments
In response to feedback:
The Last Login column has been removed from the roster screen (still available in exports and on individual contact pages).
Member registration answers can now be filtered by date, and long responses wrap for easier reading.
A verification step has been added when entering offline dues payments to help prevent accidental entries.
💬 New Groups.io Discussion GroupsBuilding on the success of the treasurers group, three new leader discussion groups have launched: membership, communications, and presidents. Invitations were sent to leaders in those roles, and additional participants can join through the portal resources page.
