Member Service Center Online
Help
We are delighted to provide this Member
Service Center.
Log in using your preferred email address of
record on this page. (click the
underlined link to get there) If you have paid dues as recently as
for 2010, your information has been pre-loaded. If not, you can
renew your membership or join now at this page.
If you have trouble logging in it means
that:
1) either you are using a
different email address than your originally-submitted preferred address
of record, or
2) you entered the address with
a space either before or after the address
You can email
webmaster@decconnection.org
for help.
The Main Menu appears on the top of every page so
you can always find it. Additional buttons are on the bottom
left-hand side (every screen except the log-in).
Welcome to the DEC Connection Member Service Center
*Here you can:
Following is detailed info about each topic:
-
Show Your Information
-
complete online profile - you can review your
addresses, phone numbers for home, cell and work (unlisted ones
are not displayed to other members; nor is your street address),
DEC background, updates, photo, etc.
-
Here is a sample FULL profile - note that you can
check when your dues are paid thru
-
Here is a sample Short Profile - just information
approved for release to other members. Non-members can't
see any of this (which is why you also want to submit your
Business Listing for our public page).
-
-
Update Your
Information
-
update your information - send in new last name,
addresses (include street address), phone numbers for home, cell
and work (be sure to check box if you don't want it published);
primary (the one you login with) and alternate email addresses;
local Chapter if you are in one such as NH, PA, FL, Carolinas,
or other manufacturing and sales locations such as CXO Colorado
Springs, WMO, WFO, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Salem, Puerto Rico;
other DEC clubs inj Galway, Munich, Italy, France, etc.
-
Other text areas are for updates: what are
you doing today? your business website if you wish; etc.
-
Please note that updates may take up
to 24 hours to go online - process uses a manual update by webmaster.
-
Photos and publicity and other attachments must
be
emailed to the webmaster separately - photos should be
approximately 100 pixels square, such as the medium-sized
LinkedIn profile photo, in .jpg, .gif, or .png format. Since
it's so small, a head shot is best. I will reduce the
photo size or crop the photo for you if you don't know how.
-
Pay Your Dues
-
Renew your Membership online, using either your
credit card or a PayPal account. This is a more convenient
option that does not require you to fill out the demographic
profile again - you can use the Update form for any changes -
and takes you directly to PayPal.
-
To renew by personal check, send check made out
to The DEC Connection in care of our treasurer,
Nancy Kilty,
33 Forest St. Unit 416,
Lexington MA 02421.
-
Get a List of Members
-
3 ways to list members: long list (you can only
see 1 profile at a time); by state; by up to 5 zip code digits -
type in as many digits up to 5 that represents your commuting
area. Note: if you ask for list of members in a particular
state, any who specified unlisted locations or phone numbers will not show
up. Email addresses are available.
-
We ask that this information be used
just for reconnecting with former employees, and not for
commercial purposes.
-
This is a terrific way to reach out and make
contact with other members in your area!
-

NewsBytes are 2-4 line updates on your
activities, either professional or retirement, which will be
published in our monthly newsletter, News-at-a-Glance, which
