Q: How do I find other members?

A: Click the “Member Community" link found in the main navigation bar. Then, select “Directory.” The Directory lets you search for other users based on:
  • First and/or last name
  • Company name
  • Email address

Switch to the “Advanced Search” tab to refine your search results by:

  • City
  • State
  • Country

Q: How do I add contacts to my contact list?

A: There are several ways to add contacts. When you perform a search in the Directory, you will see an “Add as contact” button to the right of each person in your search results. Just click this button to send a contact request. If you click through and view an individual’s profile, you can click the contact request link to the right of his or her profile picture.

Q: Why should I add contacts to my contact list?

A: Creating this virtual address book makes it easy to send your contacts messages through the community site to stay in touch, ask questions or even build a referral network. Additionally, when you view another member’s profile, you’ll be able to see any contacts you have in common. You can also choose to let your contacts view certain demographics in your profile that others can't.
