To be considered for the Excellence in Strategic Partnership or Excellence in Advancing the Profession Through CPLP awards, chapters are asked to complete the corresponding application. No application is required to be considered for the Excellence in Joint Membership Growth award. Chapters submitting CARE rosters using the CARE roster template by January 31, 2019, and chapters using Wild Apricot that have granted chapter services administrative access will be considered for this award. The CEA deadline is February 22, 2019. Visit www.td.org/CEA to learn more about submission requirements.
Wild Apricot announced this week that it is introducing a new 20 percent payment servicing fee to subscription rates on April 2 for any paid accounts not using Wild Apricot Payments as its online payment system. To avoid the monthly fee, chapters can switch to the Wild Apricot payment system. Chapters on monthly accounts have the option to delay the fee for a year by pre-paying the chapter’s annual renewal before April 2. Chapter services has reached out to Wild Apricot and its parent company, Personify, to discuss the roll out of this plan and examine what options are available to chapters participating in the Wild Apricot Partnership Program. In the coming weeks, we will keep chapter leaders posted as we learn more information. In the meantime, we recommend that your board discusses which options are best for your chapter in light of this news.
In response to chapter leader requests, chapter services has created a short video promoting the value of Power Membership for chapters to post on their site, link to in newsletters and email communications, and play at chapter events. The video and the link to embed it to your chapter’s website are available at www.td.org/jointmembership. A special thanks to Danielle Buscher, CPLP, Chris Coladonato, CPLP, Wendy Gates Corbett, CPLP, and Demetria Miles for their participation!
