What is Lighthouse?
Lighthouse Training - Module 1
Time estimate: 1 minute
Topics: Lighthouse, Lib Dem systems and tools
Lighthouse is the membership management tool for local parties. It holds data on your members, supporters and other contacts in your local area.
Lighthouse can be used to:
- View and edit your local members’ details
- Manage your local party’s details
- Manage your local branches, if you have them
- Record Donations, Loans and PPERA returns (for Treasures and officers supporting with finances)
- Search for different groups of members and create reports
What does Lighthouse fit with our other systems?
Lighthouse holds the membership data for your local party. It syncs overnight with Connect, putting all details of members, registered supporters and federal petition signers into Connect My campaign
Lighthouse is not an email sending platform. Bulk emails should only be sent via Targeted email in Connect, though you can send individual emails to email addresses in Lighthouse that are marked as subscribed.
The purpose of Lighthouse is to manage your members and their membership, not your volunteers and voters.
