Chapter SIG Interface Instructions

Instruction Manual for the new Updating Chap/SIG webpage

This instruction manual is for downloading your Chapter/SIG members. Through this interface you can see an individual’s Chapter/SIG membership status, and download a complete CSV/Excel file of your members at any time (via the "Download Member List” button in the middle of the page).

Become a Chapter/SIG List Administrator
Chapter/SIG leadership should email ACBS to indicate who (name and email address) they would like to have access. We recommend no more than 3 from each Chapter or SIG. To begin, ACBS will provide access to our current list of Chapter/SIG contacts.

Chapter/SIG List Administrator Instructions:
1. Please log-in to the ACBS website. 
2. Navigate to your Chapter or SIG page.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the page, and under "Related Content" click the link for the "[Name of Chapter/SIG] Members"

This membership data is only permitted to be used for your specific Chapter/SIG purposes. It includes current members who have selected the Chapter/SIG membership via the webform.

By retrieving your group’s membership list/data, you verify that you will only use this ACBS member data for the Chapter/SIG purposes permitted in ACBS’s Terms and Conditions, and will protect this member data according to any applicable legal requirements (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).

You may notice when you download the CSV file that special characters (accent marks, etc.) display poorly. To fix this:
1. Upload the CSV file to Google Drive
2. Open the file with Google Sheets
3. Download as a Microsoft Excel file

Definition of “Status” for those listed in CSV:

Expired: ACBS membership expired 16-365 days ago
Grace: ACBS membership expired 1-15 days ago
Current: ACBS membership in good standing
New: Only been an ACBS member for 1-182 days

If you need any other relevant member data (members in your area who have not indicated joining your chapter) or need to inform ACBS of members who should be added to this list (because you have received a request from them directly) please contact ACBS staff.
