Profile and Settings

[toc]

Your APAN profile is how people will identify you within a group. Once you've registered, complete your APAN Profile.

  • Your profile includes your picture or avatar, a basic information section where you may include general, professional and contact information.
  • Completing your profile allows other users to learn more about you which could lead to valuable APAN connections. 
  • At minimum, if you're using APAN for an exercise or event, perhaps describe your role for those tasks.
