Welcome to ISRID's New and Improved Website

Change is never easy. But with a brief explanation of our new websites features and layout we hope to stave off any un-necessary setbacks.  The redesign of this website has been in the works for over one and a half years, and included an extensive membership survey to give us direction.  What really makes this project unique is that it is being executed by two of your fellow members.  As end users ourselves we have a vested interest in creating a site that's easy to navigate but serves the needs of our organization and strengthens our sense of community.

 

We will still be offering many of the services that were previously available.  The website is divided in to two major sections; the Public and Member areas.

 

Here's a snapshot of how it's organized:

 

1.       Public side

 

  • Interpreting news
  • Link to ISRID's Facebook page
  • Event calendar
  • Links to useful resources
  • Membership join & renewal

  • Donations
  • Continuing education opportunites

2.       Member side

 

  • Interactive blogs
  • Newsletter

Now that you know the general layout, jump in and start exploring.  Enjoy!
