Joining the AIC Sustainability Committee Online Community

This online forum is just like the other AIC forums (AIC Community Forum, AIC Global Conservation Forum, specialty group forums, etc.). The Sustainability Committee will be using it more frequently to help members stay up-to-date on sustainability issues. Here’s how to join:

Step 1: Log in (if you already have an account with AIC/FAIC) or create an account

• Visit the Sustainability Committee Online Community page.
• Select the purple Login button in the upper right corner
• On the login screen, select New User (if you already have an account with AIC/FAIC, simply log in and skip to Step 2).
• Enter your email address and select Go.
• Complete your profile. Fields marked with an R are required. The rest are optional. Skip any questions that do not apply.
• Be sure to take note of the password you create. You will need it to log in to post to the Community.
• Select the purple Online Community button after completing your account to be taken to the Community.

Step 2: Join the Community

Select the purple Join Community button.

Step 3: Set your email delivery preferences

A pop-up box will ask you to choose your email preference for discussions in the community. You have the following delivery options:

• Real time: sends an email every time a new message is posted.
• Daily digest: sends one email to you each day, consolidating all of the posts from the previous day.
• No Email: allows you to be part of the group without having emails sent to you. You can still post and read others' messages by logging into the community site.

We recommend the Daily digest, as it allows you to follow the discussions without bombarding you with emails.
