General FAQs:
GiveBacks FAQs:
As your units transitions to MemberHub, the Alexandria PTA Council wants to support you! Below is a list of FAQs that we hope will help you make the best use of the new system.
What is MemberHub?
MemberHub is an online management tool designed to help you run your PTA. The system puts all your online tools in one place, making it easier to engage families, raise funds, and stay in good standing. You will save hours on administrative tasks so you can focus on
connecting with your families and supporting your school.
What is required?
Virginia PTA asks that units use MemberHub to manage their members, officers and good standing requirements, but it also has other built-in benefits, including:
-
Online purchase of PTA memberships (with membership cards)
-
Automatic membership reporting to the state
-
Easy submission of good-standing confirmations
-
Instant dues remittance
Is this tool only for PTA members?
No, MemberHub makes engaging easier for all school families, teachers and school administrators! PTA leaders can communicate with everyone in their school community to increase engagement. Once you have ongoing communication with non-PTA members at your school, it will be easier to ask them to join and support the PTA!
What if I can’t log in?
For Prior Log-Ins: If you’re the president and already submitted your updated officer lists to the state officer, go to the log-in screen and choose “forgot password.” You will get a link to reset your password.
For First-Time Log-Ins: You’ll need to go to the login screen, enter your email address and select “I need to create a password.”
How can our Membership Chair access the site?
Once the president does the initial site setup and enters officer lists, he or she can make you an admin. Please also include your treasurer so he or she also has an understanding of the site, particularly the financial aspects.
​
Do we have to purchase Memberhub software?
No! While there is a small transaction-processing fee on payments, Virginia PTA provides Memberhub software to all local units and councils free of charge.
Do units need to set up a store with memberships in it to take membership payments online?
Yes! Setting up standard or custom memberships, is part of the store setup process.
How are the PTA dues routed electronically?
Along with the launch of the Memberhub Store, users can now pay state dues directly to the state PTA via e-Check/ACH in MemberHub. You can see how much you owe the state and for how many members, decide when to send the money to the state, and pay electronically. The fee for this option is $1. The other option is to submit a form and mail a check to the state office.
Will the PTA member still get a membership card?
Yes! Each person who buys a PTA membership in your school store will get a membership card automatically added to his or her user profile, as well as an email receipt of their payment with an electronic membership card.
What reports will I see in the admin section?
You will have access to a number of reports in the PTA Admin Console, including membership information and payment transactions.
I missed the Memberhub training PTAC provided! Can I access it somewhere now?
Yes! You can view all past PTAC trainings on our website.
