This is required for those who will be editing the site, such as committee chairs, and is nice to have for everyone else. It lets you add comments to articles and participate fully in the online community.

If you've registered on other web sites, you can probably do this without reading the directions. Otherwise, keep reading for additional directions, including a video of the process.

1. Click on "Login/Create Account", under "For Members" in the left sidebar. If you don't see that link, you might already be logged in using the shared login. In that case, click on "Log out" under "Shared Account" in the left sidebar. Then you'll see the "Login/Create Account" link.
2. Now you'll be at a page called "User Account". Click on the "Create new account" tab at the top.
3. Pick any username you want. It can be your full name (spaces are OK: my username is "Scott Lindhurst") or something else, and you can change it later if you want. Enter your email address, then click "Create new account". You will get a confirmation email with a password, but you can't log in yet. For extra security, we currently require an administrator to activate your account. We'll send another email after activating your account.
4. If we forget to confirm your account, please reply to the confirmation email and remind us.

If you have any trouble with the process, or if you're a committee chair who needs edit access to your committee's pages, send an email to the website support address at the bottom of each page.
