Set up an NALC e-Activist Sign-up Kiosk at a branch meeting, training session or event. Make the process even easier for members by asking a branch "techie" to stand by, answer questions and help members go through the online process.
| All you need is: |
| a computer (one or more) |
| a telephone line for each computer; |
| a live Internet connection for each computer; and |
| the special NALC Sign Up Kiosk World Wide Web location (url) which is http://www.unionvoice.org/nalc/home.html. |
| |
One or more computers can be used at the same time and branch members can sign up consecutively.
Here's how it works:
- After logging into NALC's special kiosk web location (http://www.unionvoice.org/nalc/home.html), the NALC e-Activist Sign-up Kiosk page appears on the computer screen.
- Information on the left describes how to sign up and on the right side of the screen, there is an information web form.
- Below, members will see a message similar to the one they will be sending as NALC e-Activists.
- After filling in the form, the new e-Activist clicks the "Send This Message" button. His or her information will be entered into the NALC e-Activist Network and at the same time a "You can count on me!" message will be sent to President Young and the NALC Executive Council.
- Then, a confirmation screen appears containing information the new e-Activist just filled into the web form. If there are errors, the information can be corrected by clicking the "back" button on the web browser and putting the right information into the form.
- When the "Confirm" button is pushed, the screen clears and a new clean page will come up so the next person in line can start signing up.
- When the new e-Activist gets home and checks their e-mail, a thank you message from President Young will be waiting.
| Tips: |
| Please ask members to use upper and lower case in the name and address fields. The system is case sensitive, so e-mail addresses should also be entered with this in mind. |
| Only one person can sign-up per e-mail address. If one family member signs up using the family e-mail address, another family member will not be able to sign up for the NALC e-Activist Network using the same e-mail address. Therefore, family members should sign up using different e-mail accounts or use the same action alert information to send out separate messages to the targeted recipients. |
| The kiosk does not ask members for a password. However the signup linked from the NALC homepage does ask the user to make up a password for the NALC e-Activist system. However, an NALC e-Activist may be asked for a password when checking on their information from links that appear on e-mail messages or Action Alerts. If so, make up any password and use it (or change it) the next time it is requested. |

With a minimum of effort, your branch will be signing up legions of new NALC e-Activists and swelling the ranks of NALC's cyber-activist strike force. President Young and the NALC Executive Council thank you for your efforts to create this network of NALC Activists. |
