Welcome to the Members Area

Welcome to the Members Area

This page is accessible to the general public, however the items that appear on the menu are role specific. While the links may be visible, if you do not have the proper role, you will not be able to access pages from all links.

Step 1

You must first become a member of this website by clicking the "Create an Account" link in the menu on your left. If you already have an account, you can log in from the overlay that is displayed when you click the link. If you want to create a new account, click the "Sign Up" link in the lower right hand corner of the overlay. Once you become a member, the "Submit Group Information to CTCC" form will become accessible to you. (Step 2). If you have problems, contact us and we will help you out.

Step 2

If your group already has a listing in the non-profit & civic group directory, then you are already a CTCC member. Click here to send us a brief note and you may then skip the rest of this step. Select "Role upgrade for group already in non-profit & civic group directory" as the category. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click the subscribe link to add yourself to our mailing list.

Groups that want to have a listing in our non-profit & civic group directory, post events on our site or use the community sign should complete the form available from the "Submit Group Information to CTCC" link in the menu to your left. Once you have completed the form, CTCC will review it at the next available board meeting and make a determination as to your group's eligibility to become a CTCC member and/or to use the Community Sign. Once CTCC has decided to recognize your group as a CTCC non-profit or civic group and/or allow use of the sign, and verified your personal association with that group, we will upgrade your role so that you may administer certain types of content on this website and/or have access to the Community Sign Application. This verification process will insure that your group does not get hi-jacked by someone who is not authorized to act on behalf of your group on this website. When you have completed Step 2, additional links for managing your content will become visible (to CTCC member groups).

Step 3

Congratulations! You are now a non-profit or civic group administrator and/or have access to the Community Sign Application. You can now access the "Community Sign Application" form to get your events posted on the Community Information Sign. Beginning in 2012, sign use will be contingent upon an annual payment of $50 if payment is made before February 15th, or $100 thereafter in addition to all other conditions listed on the Community Information Board page, enabling your group to have access to the sign from January 1 through December 31 of each year that the fee is paid. We will provide an electronic means of payment via PayPal in the near future, which shall be the preferred method of payment.

September 27, 2011 Meeting update

During the meeting we discussed the functionality of the scheduler module, which allows a date and time to be set for content to be published and another date to become unpublished. This module does not delete the content when it is unpublished. CTCC does not presently run the scheduler module, however this will change in the future after we move this site to a new server.

The non-profit & civic group form has been updated. All groups may use this form to submit their information to CTCC. The email opt in has been changed to allow you to do an automated mailing list sign up with email verification directly on our mailing list system provided free of charge by Mail Chimp. All groups posting content on this site or using the community sign need to be on this list.
