INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTING A NEW ORGANIZATION'S INFORMATION Please read these instructions in their entirety before posting a listing |
|
Duplicates: Please search the database for your organization before posting a new listing. It's possible another employee of your organization, a parent or another partner may have posted your information. If your information is already posted, please use the "Information Update" box to inform the webmaster. If you would like to extensively edit/revise the information, please send an information update stating that you need to extensively revise the information, and a COMPASS employee will contact you. |
|
Information Review: Before your posting will go "live" a COMPASS employee will review your information for typos, appropriateness and ease of understanding. COMPASS reserves the right to delete any information that it deems inappropriate, to remove a posting without explanation, or to re-organize the information for optimum searching. |
|
Updating Information: If you would like to update your posting in any way, please use the "Information Update" box on your organization's page. COMPASS may also occasionally send an e-mail to all e-mail contacts in the database asking them to review and update their information. |
|
Posting Information: Organization: Please post the entire name of your organization. If you organization uses both an acronym and a full name, please spell out the full name and then after, in parenthesis, add the acronym. i.e. "California Highway Patrol (CHP)". This will allow users to find your organization using either the acronym or the full name. |
