Nickname Now the Preferred Field!

A popular request, we've now made it possible to have your nickname as the preferred field to be used throughout the system instead of your first name.

Now, if in your profile, the nickname field is populated, the system will use your nickname to refer to you rather than your first name. For example, instead of displaying your full name (i.e.: Sarah Gardener) in a list of committee members or reports, you would be listed as Sue Gardener.

Still using your first name as set by default is the e-mail message center and the events module, which we are still working on to use the nickname field as the preferred choice.

Have suggestions? We'd love to hear your feedback! You can also join the conversation on our ClubRunner Community discussion board.

RI Integration - Updates Archive by Club now Available to Club Executives on District Site

Did you know that an archive of all RI Integration updates that were attempted in the past 3 months can now be accessed by Club Executives on the District site?


The list will only display members with updates and will indicate whether or not the update was successful, and if not, the reasons why. Club Executives can access the Updates Archive by clicking on the 'RI Updates Archive' link on the Admin page.


We're very happy to be the first vendor to have fully integrated our database with Rotary International. This means, that not only does your member data sync to RI's database, you can now also sync officer information and meeting time and location. For more information on the RI Integration, please visit our RI Integration Help Center.

RI Integration - Club Officer Information Goes Live!

On November 1, 2010, ClubRunner became the first vendor to introduce the RI Integration feature to Rotary Clubs. Over the past year, we've worked close with the staff at Rotary International to improve this module so that it features more synchronizations.

Club Officer Information



We're extremely proud to announce that ClubRunner customers that have activated this feature can now sync their Club Officer information to RI's databases in realtime. Currently, only available through ClubRunner, clubs can now define their club officers for 2012-2013 and the information will be reflected on RI's database in minutes! For instructions on updating your club executive and officer information please click here.

Club Meeting Information



Now available, clubs can sync their club meeting information to RI's database in real time as well. Updates made to the club's meeting place as well as the meeting date and time will be reflected on RI's databases in minutes. For more information, please click here.

We're proud to be leading the way in providing our customers with this revolutionary feature! Learn how this database integration feature will automate member and club officer updates between your ClubRunner database and RI's Member Access Portal, while maintaining full control and privacy to Rotary Clubs and Districts by attending our live webinar on January 27 at 4pm EST.

Now Available - A New Cancellation Feature in MyEventRunner!

In our efforts to improve the MyEventRunner feature, we've introduced a new cancellation feature. Now event chairs can cancel a registration on MyEventRunner, while still maintaining a balance owing. A new button is now available in the "View Registration" screen to allow you to cancel a registration

Clicking on the button will prompt you for an optional cancellation fee, specified either as a percentage of the registration amount, or a flat fee. This will update the balance and keep that registration under a 'Cancelled' status. This means that the particular registrant will now longer appear in the various reports and nametags, but you will still be able to view the registrations within the online report, highlighted in red.

For more information on MyEventRunner or for any assistance, please contact our Client Services team.
