Join Your Community Now at community.ite.org! ITE values your membership and appreciates your commitment and investment in us. To enhance your membership experience, we are launching a new ITE online community for our members. This private member community will enhance the way you communicate and build relationships within ITE’s community.

The new ITE Community site is broken down into different sections as explained below.

Directory 2.0

Create a comprehensive and interactive profile which will represent you both professionally and individually within the ITE Community. Your profile is similar to an online resume, but with volunteer engagement feeds and member connections. Users will not only be able to browse information and facts, but interact with you. For example, users can see your committee participation levels, volunteer activities, attendance at education events and contributions. You work hard, why not show it? Think of your profile as your personal platform within the ITE Community.

You have the option to search for other members, browse other profiles and identify potential contacts and groups of like-minded people. Connect with colleagues and friends in a matter of minutes, essentially building a professional network map you can access from anywhere in the world. A variety of security settings exist so that you can set access to various parts of your profile and decide how your profile should be used.

Discussions

ITE’s Discussions are a hybrid of Listserv and threaded discussion forum technology. Are you looking for recommendations or have a question you’d like to ask your network? Community members can post, respond, or browse discussion threads. You’ll receive an easy-to-read e-mail that contains a picture of the author linked to the author’s profile, a link to the online archive where all postings are automatically stored, and a mistake-free link to respond to either the author or the entire group. Start new conversation topics or conduct research. You’ll be amazed at the collection of information and data.

Community/Council Sites

Browse the ITE Community. There are several Community/Council sites set up within our social network for you to join. Begin streamlining your volunteer experience and improving your membership interactions by participating. Start with a simple search. For example, if you’re on a council, check out your council site. Within the council site, you will be able to conduct council business, share resources and engage with other council members.

Wiki Glossary

This collaboration and reference tool was created with you in mind…and we need your help to keep it up-to-date and accurate. The ITE Community Wiki Glossary is designed to be a constantly evolving storehouse of terms that users can add or modify entries all in one place. The Wiki Glossary is set up with easy-to-use content creation interfaces, so you can post and modify new definitions, as well as rate, comment and view related terms.

Resource Library

The Resource Library is a treasure trove of user-generated content posted by members for members. You can securely share documents and work collaboratively with other members while institutionalizing content into the ITE’s knowledge base. The Resource Library can hold multiple kinds of documents, including streaming video, PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, images, Microsoft Office and Apple iWork docs.

Event Calendar

This is not your typical calendar…we want you to have a place where you can look anytime, anywhere and find out what is going on at ITE, both at the international and local level. The Event Calendar can be sorted by community name, event type or keyword so that you can see a comprehensive view throughout the year.
