PIE's Web site provides a place on the Web where members can communicate and work together behind the security of a unique username/password feature. Members can contribute to the Member Center using nothing more than their Web browser.

The following is a list of some of the tools available through the Member Center:

Announcements: An announcement list makes it easy for members to post news and information for others to see.

Discussion Boards: A variety of discussion boards are currently available and more may be created for members discussing topics relevant to their interests.

Events Calendar: A calendar makes it easy for members to post information concerning activities, upcoming events, and/or recurring events.

The office of PIE will inform members of upcoming meetings, deadlines, and other important events concerning the office of PIE through the office of PIE's Calendar.

The office of PIE invites members of PIE to visit the Member Center located on the World Wide Web. As a member, your username will be the first 4 digits of your membership number provided on your members’ card. Your temporary password is the last 7 digits of your home phone number listed on your application.

When visiting the Member Center for the first time you may need to contact the office of PIE to have your account with the Member Center activated. Members should change their password as soon as possible to maintain security.
