Register New Members

The chapter’s membership manager will:

• Enter the Username (Usernames must be first name and last name, all lowercase, no spaces, and must start with a letter not a number.)  This is the only field that cannot be updated.
• Enter the Guild member since field 
• Enter the Chapter ID – see the Chapter List if you do not know your chapter’s id
•  Have the new member complete the rest of the registration form or you can fill in the fields for the new member, if preferred.
• Proofread all the inputted fields for proper formatting:
  1. capitals where they belong
  2. no punctuation in streets 
  3. abbreviated states in caps
  4. phone numbers should have only a ‘-‘ between area code and prefix and then another ‘-‘ between the prefix and the line number. Ex. 555-123-4567
  5. birth month entered as number – for example, 1=January, 2=February and so on – do not enter day or year of birth
  6. second phone number is for a second local or mobile number such as a landline or spouse’s mobile
  7. primary address must be listed as The Villages address – used to validate if someone is allowed to be a member
  8. secondary address fields are for a second residence, if one exists, where the member lives for part of the year – this is intended so the chapter could, if needed, mail something to a member in the off season
  9. all fields with an asterisk (*) are required – note: emergency contact and phone number are required fields
