Find Your People: The Member Directory and Your Neighborhood Community Are Live
Two new ways to connect with the women you give alongside, and the steps to turn both on.
Community is one of the biggest reasons women join Impact100 Houston, and until now it has mostly lived at our three big events. Two new features in MemberLeap change that. The member directory lets you see who else is in this with you, and Communities connect you with the members who live near you.
Both live behind your member login at impact100houston.org, both are open to paid members for the 2026 grant year, and the directory takes about five minutes to turn on.
Part 1: Turn on your member directory listing
The directory is opt in. Nothing about you appears until you check one box, which means the directory is only as useful as the number of us who say yes.
Step 1. Log in and open your profile
Log in at the top right of impact100houston.org. On your Member Dashboard, look for PROFILE & ACCOUNT in the My Account box and click Change Contact/Profile Info.
Step 2. Scroll to Your Impact And Involvement
Your Member Profile opens at the top with your name and address. Keep scrolling, past the question about how you first learned about Impact100 Houston, until you reach the section headed Your Impact And Involvement.
Step 3. Check the box
The box reads “Would you like to connect with other Members in the Member Directory?”
Checking it displays your name, employer, title or profession, your About Me, and your email address to other Impact100 Houston members. Access is limited to members for the current membership year, so this is not public and it is not searchable on the open web.
Step 4. Answer two more questions while you are there
Just under the box, “How would you like to make an impact?” lets you tell us how you want to spend your year, from All In, meaning you plan to review grants, attend events, and vote, to something lighter. We use those answers to plan, so an honest one helps us more than a generous one.
Below that is a list of committees. Checking one only means you would like to hear more, and it does not sign you up for anything.
Step 5. Decide about recurring membership while you are here
At the bottom of the same form is a section headed Let Your Impact Continue To Grow with a single box for Recurring Membership. Checking it authorizes Impact100 Houston to bill you automatically on your annual renewal date, so your membership carries into the next grant year without you thinking about it. You can change that choice at any time.
This is the easiest thing you will do all year.
Step 6. Submit
Click Submit at the bottom of the form. Your directory listing appears right away.
Part 2: Use the directory
From the left menu, choose Members, then Member Directory.
To see everyone, click Search without filling anything in. To narrow it down, the search gives you a few useful ways in:
- Zip, with a mileage radius, when you want to find members near you.
- Communities, when you want to see everyone in a particular neighborhood group.
- Employer Name or Keyword, when you are looking for a member in a certain field, or trying to remember the name of the woman you sat with at the Big Reveal.
Part 3: Find your neighborhood Community
Communities grew out of our Ambassador program. Ambassadors lead small areas of town and host casual get-togethers close to home: a coffee, a walk, a happy hour, a mahjong table, or a carpool to an Impact100 Houston event so you walk in with a friendly face beside you.
Communities is the tool that makes those groups easier to run. Inside yours you can:
- see the other members in your area,
- post directly to them,
- share a local event or activity,
- ask for a hand when you need one, and
- pass along a professional opportunity.
You are already in. Every member is placed in the Community tied to her ambassador, so there is nothing to sign up for. You can change how often you hear from your group, or opt out, from inside the Community.
How to get there
From the left menu, choose Engagement, then Communities. Find your area in the list and click Enter Communities area to see your ambassador, your neighbors, and any posts.
Our Communities
Sixteen groups cover the Houston area. Click yours to go straight in.
If your area is not on the list, or your group looks empty, email us and we will get you to the right place.
Every one of us reads applications and casts a vote. It should be just as easy to know the women voting alongside us.
