FAQ

What is my login information?

Use the forgot username/forgot password buttons on the login screen or email membership@trta.org.

Why can’t I see the Chapter Portal button?

Ensure you are logging into your personal TRTA Membership account, not your local chapter account. The local chapter login information you used previously is no longer valid.

Ensure your position as either Local President, Local 1^st VP, or Local Treasurer has been submitted to the TRTA State Office. You can do so by sending an email to membership@trta.org.

NOTE: Local Presidents can access the TRTAPortal and utilize the various reporting functions. However, Local Presidents are unable to submit member dues. That must be done by the Local Treasurer or First Vice-President.

How do I understand my member roster and the different membership types?

The member roster is sortable online but can be exported to Excel or CSV, these will be the most adaptable versions to fit your local’s needs.

Member Types

- NM stands for Non Member. These are members that have been added to the database with no payment applied or members whose membership has been expired for more than 3 years.
- LM stands for Life Member. These members paid a one-time fee, and their membership will never expire. We no longer offer this type of membership.
- M stands for Member. These are members who pay annually. You may see that Members have different items in the Category column.
  - Blank Category = Annual Member, will need to renew every year
  - AMBA Category = Member is signed up on an automatic yearly payment by card through AMBA
  - BD or BD-A Category = Member is signed up on an automatic yearly payment by bank draft through TRTA
  - CC = Member is signed up on an automatic yearly payment by credit card through TRTA
- CM stands for Continuous Monthly. These are members who pay monthly. You may see that CMs have different items in the Category Column.
  - TRS Category = Member is signed up on an automatic monthly payment by TRS Annuity. Their paid through date will be updated each month after their monthly payment has been processed.
  - AMBA Category = Member is signed up on an automatic monthly payment by card through AMBA. Their paid through date will be updated each month after the monthly payment has been processed.

How do I add members to my local chapter?

If you have created a new account for a member or found an at large member that is joining your local chapter and you have their state dues to submit, you can add this member to your roster under the section Member Payments and then proceed to add their membership payment.

If you are not submitting payment for the member because they have already paid for the current membership year or are on an automatic recurring monthly/annual payment plan, you will need to email membership@trta.org.

If the member is a part of another local chapter, you will need to email membership@trta.org to request the member be moved to your roster.

Reminder: Members can belong to as many local chapters as they wish. However, one chapter must be selected for state accounting purposes such as delegate counts, and incentive payments. Moving a member from one chapter to another requires confirmation from the member. The State Membership staff will obtain that confirmation and make any roster adjustments.

How do I make updates to my member roster?

To make updates for your membership, email membership@trta.org with the information. This includes:

- Deceased
- Change of mailing address, email address, phone number, etc.
- Move member to local chapter or move member to at large list

How do I see what I have submitted in Member Payments?

This information can be found under the Dues Processed tab in Chapter Portal.

Can I make updates to my officer list?

At this time, this information will still need to be emailed to membership@trta.org.
