Attention Members,
We have upgraded! Please go check out the newly remodeled IABPFF website. You will need to register and create a login (Drum logon will not work). The IABPFF Board has decided to move to a web based format for our information and discussions versus the old discussion board format we had on the Drum. Is the Drum going away you ask? Yes and No. All future official communication and information will be posted on our website opposed to the Drum. The Drum will remain as an archive due to the urge amount of information there.
There will be a workshop at the convention to go over the new website on Thursday that you will not want to miss. Make sure there is at least a representative from your chapter there. Several ITC members will be present to assist.
To get ahead if the game follow these simple instructions:
Go to our new site located at the same address www.iabpf.org
Click on the “Members” tab and select the “Register” dropdown menu item
Fill out the online Registration Form and hit submit. It’s important to fill out all areas so members can find you for mentorship and networking
You should receive an email stating your Registration was received
Once we get the notification that you submitted your registration, we will verify membership and then approve if in good financial standing
You should get an email confirming your approval
Once you login again, you will be able to access all areas on the website
Be sure to go in and complete your bio on your profile page so other members can network with you
Upload your chapter logo, headshot, and the background of your choice
Browse the site to become familiar with all the areas so you can navigate better and contribute information and experiences
Make a post in the region area about any of your members that have promoted, retired, or passed. We want to honor them
Make sure all our chapter members follow this. So they can benefit as well
Please forward any questions to your chapter ITC rep and then your region rep. If they cannot help you or if your chapter and region doesn’t have one, then contact Brother Robert Pearson (rpearson@iabpf.org) or Darren Hyson (dhyson@ iabpf.org).
We will be transferring information from the Drum to the new site. Thank you to all those that submitted suggestions an ideas. You have made our site and organization better.
