Managing your ACA membership is a little like an onion – there are layers, sometimes it stinks, and it can make you cry if you don’t know the tips and tricks. Here are five things you may not know about keeping your membership information up to date:
1) Your information is not stored where you think it is. Your contact information, practice and individual demographics, credit card information, password, event registration, member store purchases and member history are stored in our secure member database. Your online community profile pulls and displays selected pieces of information.
2) You’ve probably visited the member database already. If you renewed your membership online, registered for last year’s conference or you’ve updated your information, you’ve been in the member database. It uses the same login and password as the online community.
3) Keeping your information updated helps everyone! It ensures that prospective clients can find you, that ACA staff keeps you updated on the matters that affect you and builds the ACA Brain Trust by helping your colleagues understand key aspects of your practice.
4) It’s easy. You can manage your information any time from your computer or tablet. There are multiple links from the online community to the member database – on the home page and on the profile tabs. Or you can go direct to the database HERE (bookmark this for easy access).
