Dear Club Officer,
We are excited to announce that we are preparing for the May launch of our new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform, which will serve as the foundation for the overall digital strategy that supports the online experience. This platform will soon lead to exciting new opportunities, including the ability for members to pay their dues online.
To support the launch of ERP, we will need to temporarily suspend some online and back-office transactions, as well as website availability. Below is a timeline of our anticipated service interruptions, as well as how they may impact you. This information will also be communicated to members in advance of the interruptions.
