Keeping your organization up-to-date As PSIA – Rocky Mountain – AASI attempts to keep pace with the changing technologies, we are asking for your help as members. The trend is away from printed materials to access to all information about events, membership policy changes and new products being available to members on-line and via e-mail. In order to be able to receive the most up-to-date news from the organization, we are asking that you keep your contact information current. This includes your e-mail address, your phone numbers, your member school affiliation and your US postal mailing address. This is easy to do! The RM website, http://www.psia-rm.org, allows all members to create a user name and password to have access to personal information. You may update your personal contact information, view your educational credit history and see events for which you are registered. You will need two pieces of personal information to create a user name and password so you’ll be able to access all the great features – your Rocky Mountain membership ID number and your birth date. The ID number is printed on your ID card. Most member birth dates are in their record. If you feel that yours is not there, please call the office to confirm your birth date is in your record and that the date is correct. Once you have these two pieces of information visit the site, www.psia-rm.org, and click the link just under the menu and ‘Become a Member’ link on the left-hand side of the screen. There is a Login button under ‘Already a member?’. If you have already created your user name and password, you just enter that information in the two boxes with the blue bars above them and are immediately taken to your personal page. If you have not created the user name and password, you skip over those two boxes and click on the link in the next sentence: If you have not set up your online account, click here. You will be asked for your RM ID number and birth date to set up your user name and password. Please keep track of this information since you’ll want to be visiting the site numerous times throughout the year! You will need to actually login with the information just created to have access to YOUR personal information. You may change your contact information by clicking the ‘Click here to Update Contact Information’, or change your password by clicking the ‘Click Here to Update your Account Password’. From there, please feel free to go through the site to find the latest edition of the newsletter, past editions of the newsletter, the schedule of events for the current season, policies and procedures, promotional offers, scholarship opportunities and many other features.
