First, we are excited to introduce more features in Tendenci's Chapter Membership Management which includes all the functionalities your organization needs to continue to unite the world's people and do good. Woofhoo! 

Before introducing what chapter membership entails, and pointing out other awesome features, you can check out Tendenci's CHANGELOG at Github to see the details of each version bump.

Membership Search, Filter, and Email Features

You asked we listened! Our awesome new front-end Member search and filter interface makes it seamless to engage with specific subsets of your members. 

You can now filter by any and all criteria on your Membership Application, as well as export your members, and email subsets of your members, based on your specific search criteria.

For example, you can reach out to all the members who have expressed interest in volunteering, and filter a specific geographical area! 

Manage Spam

We know spam has gotten worse and worse, so we have upgraded Google's reCaptcha to allow clients to use Google reCaptcha v3 in an effort to reduce spam and phishing attempts. For more information on how to manage spam, please read our help-file https://www.tendenci.com/help-files/how-to-manage-website-spam/ and How to Use Google reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 on Your Tendenci Site
