I am so excited to tell you that our new website is now live! When you visit the site, you may not immediately notice a difference. However, our new website is NAIWE.org! We are no longer NAIWE.com.
What does this mean to you? For members, the new membership database has been designed with you in mind, making it easier to locate and update your personal information. It will also generate renewal notifications on a timely basis.
With a major move, like this, some things will change such as how members can access their NAIWE membership information. I will work on making videos to assist you with managing your NAIWE membership, and the videos will be located in the Member’s Area.
As you use the new website, I want to know about your experiences, good and bad — along with your questions or issues.
However, if you type NAIWE.com, no worries, as you will automatically be redirected to our new website. Happy surfing!
