AMS Update

Saturday October 12, 2024:

Shortly after this page was posted this morning, we received a Membership Update from NARFE Headquarters.  You may have received the same.  This is a functional copy of what was sent:

Thank you for your patience as NARFE undergoes significant maintenance. As a reminder, the upgrade of NARFE’s Association Management Software (“the AMS,” our membership database) began Monday and will continue into next week.

A few things we want you to know at this point in the process:

• Staff is still regaining access to critical business functions, tools and platforms.
• We plan to restore Member Portal account access by early next week, allowing members to renew, enroll in autopay, update contact information and register for webinars. This will also allow us to resume recruiting new members!
• We expect to reopen access to FEDHub, our online community, early next week.
• We expect members will regain access to website content requiring a login early next week as well.
• We do not yet have a date for officer portal functions or reports. Please bear with us; we want to get it right!

We understand how important it is to you to have access to NARFE’s many resources, and we will work diligently with our technology partners to complete this upgrade as quickly as possible. Please visit https://www.narfe.org/database-upgrade/ for updates.

We welcome your comments as we work to build a better NARFE!
