League Presidents and Administrators,


It is important for AJLI to receive updated member roster information including member status and contact information.  This information is vital to the association to ensure we can communicate with presidents, leaders, and all members appropriately.  It is also necessary to ensure we are billing the leagues accurately.  Since your league is currently not on the Member Essentials platform, your data is updated utilizing the eUpdate tool.  This tool is being retired.

 

At Annual Conference in May, it was announced AJLI will be providing Member Essentials Basic, FREE, to all leagues.  Since the eUpdate tool will be retired, your League will be moving to Member Essentials Basic to be able to submit your member roster information. 

 

Once on Member Essentials Basic, you will have the choice to use the platform for updating member profiles (status and contact information) only, OR you may use ALL the tools in ME Basic, including the member portal, calendars, etc.

 

Your League will also have the option to migrate to Member Essentials Plus.  This option provides a more robust experience to your League and your members as a volunteer management database.  Please see  this document to review the features of each version. 

 

With Member Essentials Basic, all members will need to be invited to create an account with a username and password.  These accounts will allow access to the AJLI member website (ie. Member Central) as well as the member portal if your league decides to utilize that feature.

 

In order to get started, we need your League to do the following:

  1. Identify an Administrator of the ME Basic portal by October 6th, 2023.
  2. Submit your Administrator utilizing this form.
  3. Administrators will receive an email with instructions, along with links to tutorials.  They will begin the process of transferring to Member Essentials Basic.  This work will begin mid-October to be completed by the end of the year.  If this timeline will not work for your League based on other League activities, please let us know.

 

Please reach out with any questions.  We appreciate your partnership as we begin this transition.
