Brothers,
Here's hoping that all is well with you and your families.
After implementing the new verification process for the online join application (kofc.org/join), many state deputies, membership directors, online membership chairmen, and other frequent users provided invaluable feedback.
Today, the Online Membership Initiative is the quickest way to get any member into your council, and how do we do this? We can do this on our cell phones or our computers.
In response, the online join application was updated on Tuesday, October 18, 2022.
Changes include:
- Reduction of the application from 3 pages to 1 page.
- Elimination of unnecessary data entry fields.
- Verification process renamed "confirm membership" and made last step in join process.
- Applicant can enter either agent referral code or promo code, not both.
- Mobile phone number required.
- Parish name, city, and state/province not required
- Parish name, city, and state/province (Optional, but very important)
Please refer to the following PowerPoint if you're interested in seeing a preview of the new process or learning more about these changes. Click the photo or the link here. Online Membership 101 - COUNCIL VERSION
All Grand Knights and Financial Secretaries should check their Prospect Tabs in Member Management to see those members who would like to transfer into your councils. Once you have contacted your prospect, get him through your council admission process, and when he is accepted, "GET HIM TO GO THROUGH THE UNIFIED DEGREE" as soon as you can. Do Not Make Him Wait! Once that's done, all the Financial Secretary has to do is put the date of his degree into the program and hit the "SUBMIT" button. "He's In." The process is simple and guaranteed to increase your council membership fast.
We have many Brothers serving on Degree Teams waiting to advance these new members into our order, but we need your help! Please help us make your council more successful.
Vivat Jesus.
Fraternally,
Gordon A Jefferes
PA State Online Membership Director
