​Membership Directory

We live in a world where concerns about privacy and the risk of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands are valid and widespread. So, how do we balance this risk with the need and desire for people to remain accessible to those who want to connect with them?

This is a question the Management Team recently faced. Our current practice is to stringently protect the information on the official membership list by limiting access of that list to those with a specific need, such as social and interest group coordinators who may require a member’s email or phone number. However, this approach doesn’t address the needs of individual members who may want to reach out to one another in emergencies or to offer support during difficult times. We are a “social club” after all….

The solution the Management team developed, is an opt-in Membership Directory, allowing members to voluntarily share their street address, email address and/or phone number with others who have also chosen to share at least one piece of their contact information. The Directory is designed with clear guidelines: it cannot be shared with members who have not contributed some piece of information themselves and it cannot be shared with any third parties or used for commercial purposes. The consent form developed for this Directory ensures that each member agrees to these conditions before they are added to the Directory.

If you would like to participate in the Membership Directory, you can find the consent form at the membership table at our next membership meeting or you can download and print one from this site. Once completed, you can either leave the form at the membership table or you can scan and email it to vicepresident.portperryprobus@gmail.com.

The Directory will be updated and distributed twice a year to participants. If you prefer a hard copy, one will be available for a nominal fee.
