Directions for Joining

Step 1 – Create a User Profile

Joining the Presidents’ Alliance requires that a liaison from the institution establish a User Profile in order to access the online membership and reporting system. The liaison will serve as the institution's point of contact.

Step 2 – Complete your Institutional Profile and Action Pan

Once a User Profile has been created, you will be automatically directed to the Presidents’ Alliance Dashboard.  From this page, select the "Join the Presidents’ Alliance" option to begin the membership process.

From the "Join the Presidents’ Alliance" page, you will have to complete three steps.  You may save your work at any time by selecting the "Save as Draft" button at the end of the page and then clicking the "Submit" button.

1. Select the "Complete your Institutional Profile" option.  Please fill in all of the fields with the correct information about your institution.
