Digital is here!
Digital Membership Verification System Pilot Program Update!
The Discover Elks Digital Membership Verification System Pilot Program was a success! Thanks to its positive impact, the membership voted at our 2025 convention in Kansas City to support a Grand Lodge hosted digital membership card for all members.
As a result, the pilot program has now been suspended. Members are encouraged to replace the pilot app address with the new official Grand Lodge Digital Membership Card, available at:
This new version offers a more traditional card-style design rather than our digital membership verification system and is managed directly by Grand Lodge.
Please share this information with your fellow members — and feel free to send any feedback on the new card to the Grand Lodge Website Department. They welcome your input!
