[NFBMI-Talk] Things You Can Do As A Federation Member To Change/Update Your Member Profile

[Kane Brolin]

Hi, everybody.

The following comes from Denise Avant of Illinois, who sent this to the
Chapter Presidents mailing list.  I am forwarding widely because I think
this could be useful.

Many might not have known that a rank-and-file Federation member can update
his or her own profile with the National Office.  This is a concise
explanation of how to do so.

Good Morning Fellow Federationists,

I hope everyone is doing well. Happy fall convention season.

During the Board meeting at convention, I explained how to use the Member
Profile so that our members can change their own demographic information
and find out about member benefits.

I just want to outline the steps so you will have them to encourage your
members to use the Member Profile:

   - Go to nfb.org and click on the “members” link.
   - Once there, if you have never logged in or have forgotten your
   password, click “reset password”.
   - ON this screen, you will need to enter your email address and then hit
   submit. Please note that you will need to enter the email address you use
   for NFB communications.

You will then receive an email with instructions on resetting your
password. The email should arrive within the hour, please note that it may
go to spam.



So, there you have it! It’s accessible and easy, and the member can do this
independently.

Of course, if the person doesn’t have an email or is having trouble, you
can have them reach out to membership at nfb.org.

Thank you. Let’s go build the National Federation of the Blind



Denise Avant, Membership Chair

Danielle McCann, Membership Building Coordinator
