[Phoenix] Phoenix SPS Roster Updates

[Schloemanb at aol.com]

Phoenix SPS members,
 
 
It is approaching that time of the year again when we need to  
validate/update the squadron records.  You can help us a lot by verifying or updating the 
information we  have.  We have an access limited  (only Phoenix SPS members can 
access it) online website that let you check the  information we have and make 
any needed changes.  Best of all, any changes submitted there  will also be 
sent to the District and to National.  One stop does it all 
Step 1.  Go to _www.phoenix-usps.org/roster_ 
(http://www.phoenix-usps.org/roster) .  If you have already logged  into a USPS secure website you will see 
that you are checked and authorized for  access.  If not, you will be asked  for 
your Certificate Number (a capital letter followed by 6 numbers – include  
any leading zeros), and the first 5 digits of your zip code.  Good – you now are 
looking at the  Phoenix Sail & Power Squadron Member Listing (Roster). 
Step 2.  Scroll down the page  until you find your name.  It will  be blue 
and underlined. 
Step 3.  Left click on your  name.  A new page will open with  your 
particulars, some of which are in text boxes.  You may update/change any of the entries 
 in the text boxes only.  If you need  to make a change drag the mouse over 
them with the left button down to highlight  (the background will turn blue), 
then type in the new information. 
Step 4.  If you have no  changes – you are done and at a convenient time 
email me at _schloemanb at aol.com_ (mailto:schloemanb at aol.com)  and let  me know 
that all is in order.  After  you have made any changes, look down near the 
bottom of the page under the  “Record Last Updated” for the “Update” button.  
Left click on that and your changes will  be submitted. 
Here is what will happen.  The online roster will be updated and I will 
receive a list of your  changes.  That list of changes is  then entered into the 
squadron database and sent to USPS headquarters.  Once that step is completed 
all of the  effected databases will be updated. 
You may change your records any time, not just once a year.  If your phone 
numbers change, you change  email addresses, you move, you get a new boat or 
sell your present one, just go  through steps 1 through 4 above.  
Let’s say you need to change information for some other member of your  
family.  Scroll back to the top of  the page and find the link “Logon as a 
different member”.  The opening screen will have two boxes  that you need to fill in.  
The  “Name” is just that and a selection of member names is available with 
the down  arrow at the right side of the box.  Select whoever and then tab to 
the next box “ID Number”.  Enter the selected member’s certificate  number, as 
in Step 1 above.  Complete Steps 2 through 4 and you are done. 
Thank you for your assistance and let’s keep in touch, and remember, the  
online roster always reflects the latest information we have. 
Bob Schloeman
Phoenix SPS Database  Manager.
