Primary, Billing, and Management Contact Member Compass

Primary contacts, billing contacts, and those with management access will have additional features available in your profiles, or “Member Compass.”

Primary contacts and those with management access will have all regular features, but will also be able to:

• View and pay invoices for the organization and related contacts
• View and update organizational contact and custom information (except the organization name)
• View and edit organizational employee access to the member account
• Add or remove staff accounts from your IAIABC membership

Each organization is allowed one primary contact. The primary contact will receive membership notices and assign management access for colleagues (we recommend limiting the number of management access accounts so it does not become unmanageable).

Billing contacts’  Member Compass will include all regular features, but will also be able to:

• View and pay invoices for the organization and related contacts

Each organization is allowed one billing contact, who will be the main contact regarding billing questions.
