INTRODUCING YOUR NEW MEMBERSHIP EXPERIENCE

It is important that your professional association is able to keep up with ways to meet the needs of you, the professional. FRPA recently made the switch to a new membership management software program after a decade of using the same one. This change has allowed us to streamline much of the processes that take place while managing the membership, all while providing a much more 'user-friendly' experience for you all. We are very excited to share this with you and will be providing more information in the coming weeks as we roll out Conference registration via this new platform. Linked on the page below are some tips for getting started and some videos to walk you through setting up your account. Eventually, this member portal will be your go-to place for all things FRPA.
