ChapterSpot – what is it and where are we?

YES, THIS AFFECTS YOU!
Starting February 1, 2025, all members will join and renew using a membership system managed by LWVUS. Don’t worry! You can still join and renew with your local League, the process will just be a little different.

LEAGUE LEADERS:
To get ready for this change, please take advantage of the ChapterSpot Resources page on the LWVUS website. This has the most up-to-date information available as well as links to join trainings.

MEMBERS:
Keep an eye out for emails/information from your local League about the new process for joining/renewing your membership.

 

Changes Ahead

ChapterSpot, the new League membership platform, will provide a centralized portal where any person can join the League or renew their membership, regardless of which League they are joining.

This will improve the member experience by making the joining process consistent across Leagues and will allow new members to join their local League from ChapterSpot.

  • New and existing members will have the option to auto-renew in the future or simply be reminded when their membership is due.
  • Reminders will be automatically sent.
  • Membership will be on a rolling 12-month basis
  • There will still be the option to join with a paper form and a check. Information from paper forms will need to be entered manually by the local League.
  • Pay-what-you-can model remains (recommended rate is $75; minumum is $20; any amount is accepted)

Membership Types

  • Individual
  • Lifetime
  • Student is eliminated
  • Household is eliminated

In 2025, LWVUS will implement significant changes to League membership and dues structure. LWV is switching to a new member portal for all Leagues across the country. There is no action that our members need to take right now, but we want to provide you with an overview of what these changes mean for you. The new member portal will launch January/February 2025, using the ChapterSpot platform.

Donations

For our league to retain 100% of your donations, we will ask our members to donate directly to our League via our website “Donate” button. This means that donations would be managed separately from when you join or renew your membership.
