Network Leadership FAQs
Below are the most commonly asked FAQs from our leaders around the country.
How do I access Membership Lists for my network?
The Network Builder allows you to pull rosters, which are updated in real-time and can be pulled from your Women’s Council account. Only approved and current state and local network leaders have access to the Network Builder.
To access the Network Builder, log in to your Women’s Council profile and click on “My Account”, then click Network Builder (or go directly to connect.wcr.org to access your profile). From here, click View for your network and you will be taken to the first tab of the Network Builder, which is the Active Members report.

How do I report newly elected or appointed officers?
All Officers appointed or elected to Governing positions for their networks must be active members for the year they are serving. Throughout the year, if you have new officers or if you have to amend the officers, an updated form must be filled out and submitted. To submit a change, simply use the Local Officer Reporting Form or the State Officer Reporting Form. Additionally, each new officer must submit a Consent to Serve form to the network.
How do we make sure our officer photos are shown on the Network Microsite?
Officer photos are automatically pulled from member profiles. All photos must be uploaded to their profile in the correct size (150 x 150) to appear on the microsite. Photos can be resized on Canva.com or Imageresizer.com. Both sites are free to use. If using Canva, simply add the photo, then click “Magic Resize” on the top left of the navigation bar and select “Custom Resize”. Then enter the new dimensions of 150x150.

Who is my direct leadership communication line?
If you are a State Leader, make sure you are communicating with your National Liaison on a regular basis. Your National Liaison is a direct conduit to National information and policies.
If you are a Local Leader, in a State with a State Network, make sure you are communicating with the State Leadership Team (or District Vice President where applicable).
If you are a Local Leader in a State without a State Network, you may have a State Liaison who will be your direct connection.
If you are a Local Leader in a State without a State Network or a State Liaison, you will be working directly with your National Liaison.
