Adding maiden name to event registration form
Siddarth Reddy
- Accurate Identification of Alumni
a. Many attendees may have changed their last name after graduation.
b. During events, people often recognize classmates by their maiden names, not their current/married names.
c. Without a clear maiden name field, attendees may not recognize each other on guest lists or name tags.
- Consistent & Reliable Data for Reporting and Name Tags
a. The team wants to include maiden names on name tags as a part of their event protocol.
b. If maiden names are bundled inside the last name field or another custom field, it becomes inconsistent and unreliable for backend tasks like reporting or printing name tags.
