Updating National Office at Quantico
You are reminded that it is your responsibility to keep the National Office at Quantico advised of your
current email address. This is important in that since the transition to email billing for dues, you may be
dropped from the membership rolls if you do not receive your dues notice and remain current on dues. In
addition, with the advent of Electronic Voting by the Illinois Chapter, only paid up members will be allowed to vote and e-ballots are provided via the email address on file at Quantico.
When updating your email/contact information at Quantico, ALWAYS place your PREFERRED email
address in the area provided for WORK EMAIL, regardless of whether or not you're still working or
retired. That is the key used by Quantico. You may make changes to your member account by going
to http://www.fbinaa.org and logging in to the Members area using your Membership Number and Password as indicated.
Thank you!

E-MAIL & INTERNET
As a reminder, your Illinois Chapter now has its own internet domain. All communications (usually once or
twice a month) will be sent via this new domain. If you have not been receiving a monthly meeting notice via
email, send your correct email address to admin@fbinaa-illinois.org and check with your IT Department to
insure that “fbinaa-illinois.org” has been “white-listed” in your filters. Please note that in order to keep Chapter/Division e-mails to the members at a minimum, we have established “deadlines” for announcements
(retirement parties, training opportunities, etc.). The submission deadlines for all but “absolute emergency”
messages will be the FIRST & THIRD FRIDAY of each month. We will endeavor to send out a bi-monthly e
-mail “blast” shortly after those deadlines. Please keep this in mind when planning your events, etc.
