Digital is here!
The digital membership card was a pilot program tested in Area 8. Thanks to all of those who helped pilot and test project. We are pleased to announce that this project resulted in the passage of a resolution at the 2025 Grand Lodge Session in Kansas City, MO authorizing a digital membership card. As such, we have ended our pilot project and are working with Grand Lodge to transition the digital card from a pilot project to a permanent feature of elks.org.
