🏫 Keeping Your Team Connected: How to Update Campus Contacts in Your Institution’s Member Profile

by

Welcome back to our “How to Use MembershipWorks” blog series! In this post, we’re diving into one of the most important tools in your institutional membership: keeping your campus contacts up to date.

Each institution that joins AHEAD in Texas receives a Member Profile — and depending on your membership level, you can add multiple team members to that same profile. It’s the best way to make sure everyone on your team receives member emails, access to event discounts, and stays connected to our growing network.

Let’s walk through how to update those contacts — it’s easy, we promise! 😄

🔧 Step-by-Step: How to Add or Edit Campus Contacts

  1. Log in to your account at www.txahead.org
  2. Click on Membership > My Account in the navigation menu
  3. From your Member Profile, click the tab labeled “Additional”
  4. From here, you can:
    • Add new team members
    • Edit existing contact information
    • Remove contacts who are no longer with your institution

👥 Who Should Be Listed?

Anyone on your campus who supports accessibility, accommodations, or student services should be included! Think:

  • Access & Disability Services staff
  • Testing coordinators
  • Counselors or wellness professionals
  • Dean of Students or Student Success leaders
  • Career Services or Academic Support staff

If they’re part of the work, they should be part of the network!

🔢 How Many Contacts Can I Add?

Your membership level determines how many contacts you can include. If you’re not sure how many are included in your plan, you can confirm your membership plan type under “My Account”

Professional Membership – One member with no additional contacts

Institutional Silver – up to THREE professional members

Institutional Gold – up to FIVE professional members

Institutional Platinum – up to NINE professional members

🎯 Why This Matters

Keeping your contacts updated ensures that everyone:

✔️ Gets member-only emails and announcements
✔️ Can register for events at the member rate
✔️ Has access to our amazing list serv
✔️ Is included in the member directory

It’s one of the easiest ways to maximize the value of your AHEAD in Texas membership — for your whole team.
