vloghas Moved to a New Association Management System!

 

vlogHeadquarters is excited to announce that the upgrade to մ’s new Association Management System (AMS) is complete!

With this transition to the new AMS, powered by Nimble AMS, we’re introducing a range of features and improvements that will streamline your interactions with vlogand make managing your account simpler than before.

IMPORTANT DETAILS

1) New Login Information:As part of this upgrade,your User ID to log in to your member profile (through the Member Center or the vlogwebsite navigation) is now your email address and no longer your membership number.

You will enter the login screen by selecting “Log In” on the upper-right corner of the website or through the Member Center.

 

2) Password Reset:To ensure a seamless transition, please select “Forgot your password?” to create a new password. Follow the prompts to reset your password and access your account. Instructions are provided on the “Log In” page, including avideo tutorialfor your review.

 

3) Improved User Interface:Get ready for a fresh and modern look! Our new AMS boasts an intuitive and user-friendly interface that will make navigating the system and managing your vlogprofile a simple process.

 

Once you have logged in, you will see your member profile. The “My Profile” page provides you with a central dashboard to complete your member tasks.

 

4) Confirm Your Contact Preference in the Language Services Directory:Go to “Update Online Directory Profile” on the left of your profile page. This will allow you to opt in to have your email address displayed publicly in the Language Services Directory, or you can be contacted through a “Contact” button.

 

Please note that you must acknowledge the display of your email address in the public directory and that vlogcannot control how your email address will be used once it is publicly available. The default status for member accounts is that your email address is kept private and is only available when you confirm a request through a submitted form. This industry standard is for privacy and security purposes and adheres toմ’s Privacy Policy.

 

We’re excited about the possibilities this upgrade brings. The new AMS will allow us to engage with you in exciting ways, offering more personalized content, targeted event recommendations, and enhanced communication channels.

 

We understand that change can sometimes be a little daunting, but we’re confident that this move will elevate your vlogexperience.

 

Thank you for being an integral part of ATA. Here’s to a future filled with innovation and seamless interactions!
