Mywdc basics

WDC uses software, MyWDC, for our members to join, renew their memberships, and to sign up for events. If you have been a member of WDC since 2019, paid by check, or registered as a guest for an event, you probably have an account in MyWDC using your usual email.

Your Account in MyWDC has your email and name as well as other information you have provided to WDC. This information is used, with your permission, for our Membership Directory which is printed every couple of years.

To login into your MyWDC account, you need your email and a password.

  • Usually, you would use your personal email not a organization email which can change.

  • Usually, you provide your password when you first create your MyWDC account. However, if you first used MyWDC to register for one of our events as a guest or you sent us a check for a membership or an event, an account was automatically created to contain your information but with a temporary password.

  • You can reset your password at any time by clicking a link on a screen or you can reset your password now.

  • You can request help from WDC to change your password by clicking on a Support or Help on a screen. Or you can request help now.
