Hello Kansas PTA Units!
As you may know, Kansas PTA has entered into an agreement with MemberHub for your use as a PTA Unit, and communication ease with Kansas PTA when you are submitting membership, membership dues, and required documentation, such as your 990 submission and annual audit.
Kansas PTA requires all units use MemberHub for membership submission, membership dues, and documentation notification.
MemberHub does provide additional tools for you that make it easier to run your PTA and engage your families with PTA. You are not obligated to use the additional features of MemberHub (selling items, creating directories, and communicating with your membership, etc). MemberHub is FREE to you.
If you are currently using a different system, we understand, but your membership and dues must be submitted to the state through MemberHub.
Want some help setting up or using MemberHub? MemberHub’s Help Center is full of articles and videos, but if you want even more information or personalized assistance beyond submitting a support request, check out these opportunities to learn more and get help with your MemberHub site, store, fundraisers, people, hubs, members, compliance…and more!

Entering Members into MemberHub
Entering PTA Members: https://support.memberhub.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001448274-Enter-PTA-Members-Cash-Check-
Importing “Contacts”: For ease in entering your membership information, you can import an excel spreadsheet into “People” (not a membership import) and then when you start to enter members names into the system, it will start to auto-populate them for you which will reduce your entry time. MemberHub has provided detailed instructions here: https://support.memberhub.com/hc/en-us/articles/203194279-Import-Contact-Information
If you have a member who does not want to be contacted and therefore did not give you an email address or a telephone number, you may enter a phone number such as (111) 111-1111 (and then 1112 and then 1113) as long as you do not duplicate a phone number that is already entered for a different member in your group.
- PLEASE NOTE: just like all of your other financial transactions, only the President or the Treasurer have the system permissions to transmit Membership Dues to Kansas PTA, therefore the President and Treasurer need to be on your MemberHub account and the only ones on your WePay account.
