New Website Coming Soon!
We’re thrilled to announce the launch of our redesigned WCR.org website will be rolling out in the first quarter of 2025! To ensure a smooth transition, please take note of the important updates below:
- Content Freeze: All edits to your network microsite must be completed by January 31, 2025.
- Verify that your 2025 Leadership Team is accurately displayed.
- Ensure your 2025 President’s Letter has been added to your microsite by your network president.
- Confirm that your Strategic Partners and their logos are appearing correctly.
- Add and update your 2025 events on your microsite.
Taking these steps now will help ensure your microsite is ready for the exciting changes ahead! Any updates made to your microsite after January 31 will be published to your existing microsite but will not be migrated over to your new wcr.org microsite.
If you do not have admin access to make the appropriate updates, please email vlindsey@wcr.org.
Reinstatement Fees for Expired Members
After January 31, a reinstatement fee will apply to all expired members renewing their 2025 membership. Please remind your members to renew their 2025 membership by January 31 to avoid this fee.
Attention Expired 2025 Officers
If you are a local or state leader with an expired membership, please note that you are not considered an active member in good standing and are thereby not eligible to vote or hold office in the network while your membership is in delinquent status. If you are a 2025 Officer, please renew today!

Billhighway Update
We are pleased to let you know that we have extended our contract with Billhighway until 2027. This partnership continues to bring valuable financial platform benefits to our members at both the local and state levels, and we’re thrilled that so many of you are already taking advantage of this excellent service.
We’d like to be transparent about a slight change: Billhighway has implemented a minimal increase in some of their fees. Specifically, there has been an overall increase of 0.15% across lockbox, ACH, and credit card processing fees. We understand that fee changes can be concerning, but we want to assure you that this increase is relatively small.
The good news is that we’ve secured this new rate for the entire term of our extended contract—through 2027. This means no further fee increases will occur during this period, providing stability and predictability for all of us.
By locking in these rates for the next three years, we hope to minimize any impact to the networks, ensuring that the service remains affordable and valuable for everyone involved.
Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We’re here to support you every step of the way
