Field Reference: SGA Member
Last updated: July 6, 2026
Summary
The SGA Member object is the complete, faithful mirror of every member in SGA — including those too young to be a Contact. It carries the fullest membership detail and, importantly, the household relationships that the Contact doesn't. This reference covers the fields and associations you'll use most. For how the member object relates to contacts and deals, see The Object Model.
Why this object exists
The Contact is a streamlined, marketable version of a person. The SGA Member object is the full record: every member has one (children included), and it holds the relationship structure that ties a household together. Use it when you need complete membership context or need to reason about who belongs to which family.

Key associations
The member object is where the household and cross-object links live:
Association | Connects to | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
Associated Contact | The member's own Contact (if they have one) | Bridges the full member record to the marketable contact |
Head of Household | The household's primary adult | Routes a child's activity to the right adult — see Households, Minors, and Who Receives Program Emails |
Associated Deal | The member's registrations | Connects a member to what they signed up for |
For young children with no Contact of their own, these associations are how their registrations still reach an emailable adult in the family.
