We hope you enjoy looking around our website and will invite others to do so.  Please check back often for new stories, information and member resources.  As one would expect from a new website, it is being continually updated.  We hope you are inspired by the collective accomplishments of all Assistance League chapters and are proud to be an Assistance League member volunteer.

Best Wishes from your National Board

 

]]> FAQ: Do we have to move our website? https://www.assistanceleague.org/blog/technology-matters/faq-do-we-have-to-move-our-website/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=faq-do-we-have-to-move-our-website Sun, 22 Nov 2015 17:25:34 +0000 http://al2.dev.confluencecorp.com/?p=3188 NO. No chapter needs to do anything about their website. We hope we have designed a website that chapters find attractive and useful and will eventually move their current websites to our new model.

]]> FAQ: What happens to the chapter websites hosted by Highpoint? https://www.assistanceleague.org/blog/technology-matters/faq-what-happens-to-the-chapter-websites-hosted-by-highpoint/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=faq-what-happens-to-the-chapter-websites-hosted-by-highpoint Sat, 21 Nov 2015 17:27:10 +0000 http://al2.dev.confluencecorp.com/?p=3190 Each chapter signs its own contract with Highpoint and as long as your contract is current your website should be fine. The Highpoint sites will no longer be able to move seamlessly between the chapter and national websites. Members will need to log in a second time to view members-only information on the national website.

]]> FAQ: Can I use the same password for this website and my chapter website? https://www.assistanceleague.org/blog/technology-matters/faq-can-i-use-the-same-password-for-this-website-and-my-chapter-website/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=faq-can-i-use-the-same-password-for-this-website-and-my-chapter-website Fri, 20 Nov 2015 17:27:37 +0000 http://al2.dev.confluencecorp.com/?p=3192 You control your own passwords.  If you want your passwords to match for both your chapter website and the national website just make them the same password.  If your chapter moves to this national multisite you will need only one password and can move between the two websites with ease.
