 I'm Marcia Chan. On behalf of the California Affiliate of Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages, I'd like to welcome you to an overview of the Catesaul Member League Portal, new in 2019. This section will show you how to access the portal, update your profile, ensure that your membership is current, and subscribe to the message boards for interest groups, chapters, and levels. Let's get started. First, you'll need to log in from the Catesaul homepage at www.catesaul.org, under Membership Member Portal, or you may enter the URL www.memberleague.com.slash.members.php. Next, you'll need to log in with your username and password. If you forget, or you want to change your password, you can reset it by entering your username or email, and then pressing reset my password. Please ensure that your membership is current. You can find this out by going to my membership information, billing information, and you will find ways to extend your membership term beyond the current term and pay your membership dues and fees. Regarding renewal, if you are a current member, you may renew, that is, make another payment for the next term, or extend, that is, pay for a future term. If your membership has lapsed, you're not considered a member anymore, and you must join again. If you have any trouble with your membership, please contact catesaulsusan at gmail.com. Update your contact information annually. Do that through my membership information, member information, change, contact, profile, info. Let's take a look at that screen. Here's where you will change or enter the current contact or profile information, including your name, address, phones, email addresses, employer, position, and gender. This form continues to a certain area that we'd like to highlight. There are places for you to exclude or hide. However, catesauls strongly suggest that you not select any of these exclusions, except possibly telephone and maps. You may wonder what public member list means. It does not mean the general public. It does not mean all people in memberly. It means only dues-paying catesaul members who have access to this portal. There's one where we particularly wish for you not to select, and that is suppress broadcast emails. Why? Because if you suppress broadcast emails, you won't get any notifications from catesaul at all. Continuing on this form, you'll be able to select your interest groups, identify your positions, and your levels of interest. This is for our demographics in catesaul. This does not sign you up for anything. It only tells catesaul about the membership, who we are, and what we're interested in, where we teach, what levels, and in what roles. Add your photo so that catesaul members can connect your name to your face. Where do you do that? In my membership information, go to member information and you'll see upload or change photo. If you put a photo there, then we'll be able to put a name to a face, and that's great for connections. Now, let's talk about message boards. In the member menu under communication, select message boards. You'll see a list of all the message boards that are currently available. They are grouped as such. Board councils, chapters, interest groups, and levels. And finally, at the bottom is a section for catesaul job board. Check the box in the first column opt-in for each chapter, interest group, and level that you wish to subscribe to. If you're a group leader, please also select the appropriate board council. Beware, if you don't check a box, you won't get notifications from that group. Notifications for message boards. In this example, catesaul tell and top are checked. You can subscribe, that is opt-in, to as many message boards as you want. Click on a group name to view the topics. For example, in catesaul top, the first two topics appear in the topics list. Click on a topic to view the posts to the thread. Here's an expansion that shows a message I sent out and the first two or three respondents. Oh, we have some question marks here. A gray silhouette with a question mark indicates you have not yet uploaded your photo. Go to member menu, membership information, upload your photo. Let's make connections. Member elite message boards are email enabled. To create a new topic, submit an email to your group. For example, for teaching a pronunciation interest group, from your member email address, send email with an appropriate subject line to catesaultopatmemberleap.com. That's the board here, catesaultop, teaching a pronunciation. You can see the email catesaultopatmemberleap.com. How will you know what the email address is? Generally speaking, your chapter interest group and level coordinators will post the email address or you can find it on the message board like this. For example, this board is called catesauladult and the email address is catesauladultatmemberleap.com. This one is catesaultop, and you can see the email is catesaultopatmemberleap.com. This board is catesaultop and correspondingly the email address is catesaulccatmemberleap.com. Pretty simple, eh? Now let's talk about how to respond to a message. This might be different from other email groups that you belong to, so pay attention. To reply to everyone on the message board, simply click reply to an email. So when you click reply, don't think that you are replying to one person who sent out the message. You are replying to the entire group. Now suppose you don't want to reply to the entire group. To reply to a specific member, click forward and then enter the email address of the specific member or members. If you don't know the member's email address already, you may search for it by name in the member menu. Let's take a look at that. To find a member's address in Member Leap, go to the member menu and under members, select member name search. Then enter the member's name, either the first name or the last name or a part of a name depending on how common the spelling is. And here you can see I put in an example of Burek, B-U-R-I-K. Then I see that the member search brings up Burek Anthony. Hooray! Now I can see his email address. If I want to send a message only to him, I will copy this address and then paste it in my forwarding message. So that's how you can do it too. Thank you for listening. We hope you enjoy using our new Katisal membership portal at memberleap.com. If you have any questions, please send them to Katisal at katisal.org. Bye-bye.
