The Portal is an online platform built for all members of the Society in Canada. It generates comprehensive online financial and statistics reports that automatically consolidate reports for councils. The data is secured, password-protected and stored on Canadian servers.
As you may know, the Members Portal was presented to members at the ANF. The Western Region representatives attested that the portal greatly relieves the burden of the reporting process.
