Your members have a secure password-protected Member Information Center (MIC) available through the Internet where they can view and edit their company information, which automatically updates the public member listing on your website, pay bills, interact with each other, submit job postings, advertise, and events for approval, and also view statistical reports. This Member-Only area may be customized by you using menu selections in the Setup module.
