We are pleased to announced enhanced functionality for the On-Line Membership Directory, which we hope members will find useful.  Please note the following: 1.  The on-line Membership Directory provides the most up-to-date information on our membership.  It reflects all the most recent changes made, either by the members themselves or by the Membership Secretary. It is therefore a far better source of information than the annual printed Membership List, which is out of date even before it’s printed.  Such is the turnover in our membership. 2. The Directory now includes all the data elements that are provided in the Membership List.   It is necessarily differently formatted from the printed list and may look squashed on very small screens, but the data elements are all there.  Because of its formatting it is best viewed in landscape mode if using a tablet rather than a laptop or desktop. 3. The Directory can be searched by a member’s family name or given name; by a spouse/partner’s family name or given name; and by region. 4. The Directory can now be printed out by search result, including a complete list of all members, or  regional members; the print button is in the middle of the right side of the screen. This function creates a Pdf file, which can either be printed out directly or saved to a hard drive for analysis and/or subsequent printing.  As mentioned above, it works best in landscape format, if your system gives you this choice. We hope that members will find this enhanced Membership Directory useful and we would appreciate receiving any feedback. Such feedback should be directed to me at [email protected] BAFUNCS Website Manager
