Member Service Centre Contest 2011

The Member Service Centre re-launch included a contest offering five free CIPHI annual memberships for those members who renewed and completed a list of four tasks on the MSC.  One of the tasks was to provide feedback on the re-design…and the feedback was good!

We thank everyone who participated in the contest and to all that have visited the MSC to populate their member profiles, log their Professional Development Hours, do their Self-Assessments online, renew for 2011, answer Quick Polls, and partake in Blogs and discussion Forums.

Don’t stop coming to the MSC just because the contest is over.  We are in the process of moving the CIPHI website discussion forum over to the MSC so our members have a secure professional to professional forum for discussion.  The Events module is getting some final touches so that it can serve as the National conduit for finding and registering for professional training and events.   Please join the Communities and participate in the blogs and forums.  We built them to promote stronger collaboration and idea sharing amongst CIPHI’s membership.

You’ll find CIPHI’s financial reports, committee activities, and more in the NEC Community, and we continue to add resources throughout the MSC that we hope will be beneficial.  Keep the feedback coming so we can continue to grow the MSC and its services…

now where was I… oh yeah, and the five 2011 free membership winners are:

Randy Ash – BC
Julie Scarpino – Manitoba
Lori Collins – Ontario
Douglas Howse – Newfoundland
Sarah Yusuf - Alberta

Congratulations from CIPHI and the Member Service Centre!
