NACBA offers members access to a series of community groups located on a new online  platform called NACBA Connect that focus on varying topics related to consumer bankruptcy. Joining a community subscribes you that specific community’s listserv email, and connects you to NACBA members who share similar interests related to the community’s topic. Many of the communities are open to all NACBA members, but membership in a few is restricted. You must be a NACBA member to join an open community. You are able to add yourself to an open community when you are logged into your member profile. Simply navigate to the NACBA Connect webpage and scroll down to the “Communities” section.

Joining a Community

To join a community, login to your NACBA profile. Navigate to “NACBA Connect” at the top of the web page. Click on the “Communities” tab to reveal a drop down menu and then click “All Communities”. Here you can explore the topics of each community and add yourself to those you are interested in joining. You may also remove yourself from a community you no longer want to participate in.

Participating in a Community

NACBA’s new online community platform, NACBA Connect, provides members with exciting new features and the ability to connect with each other! We have created instructions and video tutorials for you if you need help performing some tasks within the online community such as logging in, participating online, searching documents and discussions. Visit NACBA Connect directly at network.nacba.org and use the same login credentials you use for your member profile.
