As of September 2023 Texas BASS Nation has implemented a new database for membership renewals and to add new members. Member data is now stored in a relational database housed on an Amazon Web Services server and encrypted with the highest level of encryption. Last year’s member information has been imported to the new database so you wont have to enter member details again. However, you must make sure member information is up to date and accurate.
Bass Club officers and Region Directors will be sent an email with TBN Membership database login credentials and a temporary password. It is recommended to re-set the password before proceeding with membership renewal. You will not be able to access the membership database until you receive this email. If you are a bass club officer, your credentials will allow you to view and update member data for ONLY your bass club. If you are a Club Region Director your credentials will allow you to view and update members in ONLY your Region.
