Introducing the New NSCF Portal! Coming Soon! Important Info for Membership and Library use
| Introducing the new NSCF Portal! Happy August, NSCF Community! We have some very exciting news! As we approach a new season, it will be soon be time to welcome new NSCF members, and to renew memberships for those who are already a part of our community. This process will now be done a little bit differently. We are modernizing our office systems and are thrilled to soon launch our new Membership Management and Library Lending platform called the NSCF Portal. Thanks to our NSCF Board Member, Andrew Cranston, tech guru & designer of this system, and all of Tim’s work on this before he retired! Please read the information below carefully. We will send another notice when the portal is live and ready! It should be soon… we’re in the final testing phase! 🙂 What is the NSCF Portal for? All NSCF members will now have direct access to their membership profile in a system called Podio. With this portal you will: 1) Manage your membership (either individual or a group/institutional membership of an organization you are connected with). You can update the profile, change contact info, pay dues etc.) 2) Access our Lending Library – Search the Catalogue, Reserve and Request Titles for borrowing. (all lending requests will be processed through this service) 3) Access the Directory of Member Choirs and all the info they provide. How do I access the Portal to browse the library, become a member or renew my membership? a) If you are already a member, or are connected to a choir that is a member, you will soon receive a notice via email that will provide you with instructions to access portal and renew membership. (Please don’t renew until this notice has been issued) b) If you are NOT already a member, you can still create a profile and browse the library. You can access the portal via the NSCF website. (But we would love for you to become a member! See below!) c) When you first arrive in the portal, the home “Dashboard” will provide detailed instructions for the next steps! 2 Important Heads Up before you start: 1) Be aware that you will need to create a password to login with an email. *Please save this password for all future use for your membership/library access*. 2) Choirs/Organizations must been connected to a person – therefore anyone who wishes to act on behalf of a group must register first with a profile. This includes conductors, volunteers etc. Instructions after login will direct you to request access to be connected your choir. Please Consider Becoming a Member! In addition to the many member benefits for both individuals and groups, you will be joining a rich cultural network of singers, artists, composers, educators, administrators – learners of all ages and abilities. As a member, your investment directly enables us to provide enriching programs and services for singers across this province. Adding your voice to this community will support our efforts to champion and celebrate the art of collective singing in all its forms! Find out more here! Thank you for reading! We will send a notice soon when it’s ready to roll! Thank you! Heather Fraser, Executive Director |
