Every Member Gets a Membership Card!
How are you getting yours out to members?

There are 2 ways to do Membership Cards!

  1. Our e-Membership platform, Totem, will issue your members their membership card once they’ve made a secure account through the platform and pay the appropriate dues - they can then add their e-membership card to their digital wallets and emails to secure their amazing perks and discounts! Learn more about guiding your members on the Totem helpdesk.
  2. The second option? Go the traditional way! Get your membership cards from your Council or District PTA leaders and then either fill them out using this template or by hand! Be sure to put your California State PTA ID number on the cards so it’s easy for folks to sign into the new Leaders’ Website.

Membership Envelopes: Available now at a low-cost to local PTA units.
Contact your district PTA to place your order today!
