FAQs
Q. Can Members be part of more than one Member TypeGroup?
A. A Member can be assigned to only one Member Type. A Member can, however, belong to Multiple Member Groups, so if your Club is setting up a Type to accomplish something that would better be accomplished through a Group, consider setting up a Member Group instead of an additional Member Type Yes, Members can belong to any number of Static, Dynamic, and/or mixtures of these Groups.
