How to transfer team ownership to someone else?

If you work at an organization, there may be time you need to transfer ownership of your admin account to a new person. In order to accomplish this, please follow these steps:

I will no longer manage a CWS member profile, and I need to transfer team ownership and billing to a new CSW member:

  1. Visit your Account Settings.
  2. If you need to change the card on payment BEFORE transferring ownership, click Plans > Manage Plans to open the secure Stripe payment portal and change your payment details to the new card.
  3. Revisit your Account Settings and click Security
  4. In the 'Email' field, add the new email address of the person you are transferring ownership to and click save.
  5. Instruct the new person to visit the website to reset the password on the account. They will be sent a verification code to the new email address you set in step 4.
  6. The new member must now create or connect their own membership profile. Please email Lisa@cvilleweddingsociety.com to request a new member profile for the new team owner.

Important Notes:

  • Unless manually changed, Stripe Billing will continue with the same card and details on file.
  • The new team owner must create or connect their member profile before being able to use member-specific benefits such as event registration or the member profile tools.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Lisa at lisa@cvilleweddingsociety.com.

How To RSVP to Events

To attend an event, each member must RSVP individually. RSVPs are directly tied to your member ID, which ensures that only you can RSVP for yourself; other members cannot RSVP on your behalf.

How to RSVP:

  1. Visit the Upcoming Events page.
  2. Select the event you wish to attend.
  3. If you’re not logged in, click Login and sign in to your account. Otherwise, simply click RSVP to be added to the attendee list.
  4. You can view all events you’ve RSVP’d to on your My Events page.

Cancelling an RSVP:

If you need to cancel your RSVP, simply click Cancel RSVP on the My Events Page to remove yourself from the attendance list.

Important Notes:

  • You can only RSVP for yourself—RSVPs for other members are not allowed.
  • Each member must RSVP for events individually.
  • Unless otherwise noted, only CWS members are permitted to attend member-only events. In most cases, non-member guests will not be allowed.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Lisa at lisa@cvilleweddingsociety.com.

How to send and receive member-to-member messages?

Messaging Features for Your Member Directory Profile

To send a direct message to a member, visit the Member Directory, click on the member’s profile, scroll to the bottom of the page, and complete the message form with your information and message details.

When you submit the form, the message is delivered to the recipient via email notification. Email addresses are never publicly displayed or shared through the directory. The recipient can choose to reply directly to you using their own email.

Important Notes:

  • The email address connected to your membership account is private and is not displayed on your Member or Business Vendor Profile.
  • Member-to-member messages are routed through the platform and sent to your membership email address.
  • Other members will only see your email address if you personally choose to reply to them.

Your privacy is always protected, and your email address remains confidential unless you decide to share it.
