Membership Category Badge Vs Membership Status Badge

Membership Category Badge

The membership category badge is an image representation of your membership category. If you have more than one membership type, the badge is useful not only that it identifies a particular membership type, it helps differentiate one from the other.  It likewise adds a nice visual touch to the Member Portal for those that are members in this category.

The membership category badge is displayed in the member portal under the "My Profile" menu on the membership page.
