OMDR Membership Dates and Card Printing

The California PTA membership year is July 1 to June 30. Our membership card expiration date is October 31. This allows our members to renew their membership during those four months. During this grace period, members are entitled to their full membership rights, including approval of the PTA’s budget and program at the summer or fall association meeting.
Each PTA must keep a record of the actual date that a member has joined. Rights of membership are extended to those who have been members for 30 days.

OMDR includes a convenient membership card printing function found on the unit site. Unit name, unit ID number, member name and dates of membership are printed on the card. October 31 must be used in OMDR as the end of term date in order to be printed on the card. Keep in mind that any members added with a future begin date will not be seen in the system until that date.

When one enters a member individually, one has no option of providing dates for the member’s membership year. Therefore the dates printed on the membership card for that individual correspond to the unit’s membership year entered in the “Local Unit Update”. Set the Local Membership Year dates to begin July 1 and end October 31.

When one renews members from the previous year that were entered individually, there is also no option for dates. The membership years printed on the membership card will be the ones set in the “Local Unit Update”.

Members entered into the OMDR system will remain in the system for exactly one year past their member expiration date in order to allow for renewal of membership.

When members are entered via a batch upload, one has the option of entering begin and end dates for each member. Use the date each member joined in the “begin date” column and 10/31/08 in the “end date” column for the current year in order to print cards from the OMDR site.

Each member’s term date should begin with the date he/she joined and end with October 31 of the following year (or in the same year as the end of term, June 30).
There are two options to print membership cards.
