In our last post, we highlighted the new SCBWI website. As with anything new, there have been bugs and questions. So we thought we feature a few How-To posts so, hopefully, a few of those questions can be answered. One important part of being a member of SCBWI is to be involved in a region. Regions are our local community of creatives we can plug into; exchange news, find resources from and build friendships. Previously, members were closely associated with just one region and had to check news from other regions by logging into the website and going to that chapter's profile page. Now you can follow any region you would like to. By following a region, you would be receiving news from that region in your inbox. This means you will have up-to-date news from as many regions as you choose to follow. Any region that you do not follow will not be able to send you any news. We do advise that you at least follow the region of the country you are residing in so you can participate in local events. If the country you are in does not have an active region, you can follow and make the International Central Region your Home Region. Here's How-To Follow A Region: To follow a region from your member profile, follow these steps. You can also watch this video (in English) that shows you how to log in and follow regions. You're done! You will now get the emails from the regions you have followed. You can make changes to this list at any time. En español: Por qué es importante entrar en el nuevo sitio web y seguir las regiones de su elección. Cuando la nueva página web fue lanzada a principios de año, la SCBWI trasladó las membresías activas a la página nueva PERO, debido a leyes de privacidad, los socios y las socias deben ACTIVAR su propia membresía en la página web nueva. Para activarla en la página web nueva necesitas acceder a ella. Aquí hay un video que te enseñará como activar tu membresía. Razones para acceder a la página web nueva de la SCBWI (si es que todavía no lo has hecho):
We hope that this post has been helpful. Do let us know if you have any other questions about the website.
