Things you need to know before beginning This directory is not perfect. It does have it’s limitations. It is detailed to give you a lot of exposure. There are quite a few steps so be patient. It’s for your benefit. Your User Id and password is not the same as it is for events & if you joined under the old system. For events, you will continue to use your address and password that you registered when you first joined (old membership). Please do not ask to change anything because the format & the directory is a set theme. There is no customization allowed. Play with it. Get familiar with it. Use it. This directory is the best on the market for a membership organization. It’s SEO is second to none. As per Judy Worden, you are getting a business profile & SEO that would normally cost you in the range of $500-$1,000 per month. That was the quotes that I got last year from 2 different companies. Judy Worden handles the SEO & any custom work needed on the website but she does not handle the maintenance or setup for members. Please do not call or Judy for anything related to problems you are having with events, registering or changing, deleting anything for your directory profile/listing. You get one listing. If you have multiple businesses, you will have 2 choices: Purchase a separate retail business listing for $95.00 or add it to your current business profile. You will not get any more categories that exceed your membership options with one business listing. If you are a new member, I need you to your headshot to me. When you upload images, it does not save them in the media file on the website. My address is

There are two sections you need to complete My Account details-this is your member profile section where your headshot goes. Members will communicate with you there. My Website listing-this is the business listing portion where the public sees the listings in each category. Both sections must be completed. There are two sections because members have requested that they have access to members to communicate with them. This takes the place of an excel member list because members were spamming members. Many members have privately requested that they not be placed on members newsletters or invited to private events. Members s are not published for a reason. Next screen will show you what you will see:
